Every 4 years is a leap year, with the extra day being February 29th, so 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024, 2028, 2032, and etc. will all be leap years :)
As of 2015, the next time 2012 repeats itself will be in 2040 and then 2068 and then 2096. 2012 was a leap year, so it takes longer for a leap year to come round to starting on the same date again.
2012 is a leap year. The next one will be 2016.
2016
It will repeat again in 2032. The long gap is due to the fact that it is a leap year.
leap years come every 4 years and last a year
The leap year dragon comes around every four years, just like leap year. It also sometimes comes back during special "bring them back" events.
Yes, 2100 is the only year this century in which the every-four-year pattern of leap years will be broken. Then from 2104 until 2196 they will be every four years again. 2200 and 2300 will be regular years like 2100.
Leap years come every 4 years
Days move up one day each normal year and two in a leap year. So the date today will be a day later next year. If two leap years occur within a 6 year period, then two days will be skipped, meaning it will take 5 years for a calendar to be used again. 2006's calendar came around would have come after 6 years, because there was only one leap year between it and 2012, but 2012 itself was a leap year and there was a 29th of February in it, which was not in 2006. 2012 and 2016 are both leap years so there are two days skipped and in 2017, and the calendar will be the same as 2006 as it will not be a leap year.Days move up one day each normal year and two in a leap year.

There are 4 years between every leap year. Correction: There are 4 years between MOST leap years. That's the case 99.25% of the time. For the other 0.75% of the time, there are 8 years between leap years.
The year 2000 was a leap year, so the use of a 2000 calendar is limited to leap years. Which are.... 2000, 2028, 2056, 2084.
The year 2008 will repeat again in 2036, as 2008 was a leap year. During the 21st century it will repeat again in 2064 and again in 2092.
