Nope. To figure leap years, start with the Year 2000 (a leap year) and count either direction by fours (e.g., 1996, 1992, 1988...2004, 2008, 2012). The only exception is that century years (1900, 1800, 2100, 2200) aren't leap years unless they're evenly divisible by 400 (1600, 2400, 2800). It's a rule Pope Gregory XIII made back in 1582.
