2012 was the third leap year in the 21st century. The 21st century started in 2001, not in 2000 as some people believe, so 2004 was the first leap year, 2008 was the second leap year and 2012 was the third leap year.

In the 21st century the following are the leap years:

2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024, 2028, 2032, 2036, 2040, 2044, 2048, 2052, 2056, 2060, 2064, 2068, 2072, 2076, 2080, 2084, 2088, 2092 and 2096.

Although there are 100 years in a century, and a leap year is normally every 4 years, and 100 divided by 4 is 25, the year 2100, which is the last year of the 21st century, is not a leap year, due to the rules for leap years. It is divisible by 100, but not by 400.
