What about on a leap year? Hmm...
This accounts for a leap year.
Every year we "lose" a quarter of a day. Leap day (once every four years) is an accumulation of the quarter days.
He accounts for leap year just fine.
It's the fact that leap years are removed from every year divisible by 100, except those divisible by 400.
There are actually 365.2422 days per year. (found at http://www.timeanddate.com/date/leapyear.html)
