Well, I'm pretty sure all you have to do is figure out the last leap year and subtract four... Which, of 2011, would be 2008. In case you're struggling with your calculator to figure out the answer, it would be 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992.
Oh, I'm sorry that was 5... But i wouldn't expect you to figure that out on your own...

Why is there a February 29 on the 2012 calendar?
February 29 occurs whenever there is a leap year - that is, when the year is divisible by 4. In those cases when a year is divisible by 100, but not by 400, the year is not a leap year. For example, although 2000 was a leap year, 2100 will not be, nor will 2200 or 2300.

What happens if your birth date lands on leap year?
Nothing special. Apart from having one extra day, a leap year is the same as any other year. So say you were born on the 16th of June in a leap year, it is no different that being born on that date in another year. The only issue is with someone who is born on the 29th of February. It is the only date in a leap year that does not occur in other years. In other years some of those people choose to celebrate their birthday on the 28th of February and some choose to celebrate on the 1st of March. Anyone born on any other date in a leap year does not have that issue. So there is nothing in particular that happens if you are born in a leap year.

if a year is a multiple of four, then it is a leap year, except for every 100 years. 2100 will not be a leap year for some weird scientifical reason. but every four hundred years, it will be a leap year.
e/i: 2400 will be a leap year.
just to make sure you have the right idea, 2016, 2020, 2024, etc. will all be leap years along with the next four years after each preceeding year until 2100, then the next leap year will be in 2104.
