T-Rex: 2020, huh?
T-Rex: Where do we go from here?
Dromiceiomimus: 2021 would be conventional.
T-Rex: But that's boring!
T-Rex: I'm starting a petition to have next year be 4379.
Utahraptor: T-Rex, those online petitions never achieve anything that violates calendrical conventions.
Caption: MORAL:
T-Rex: And that's why the 21st century began on 1 January 2001.

The author writes:

Just don't tell T-Rex about Symmetry454.

Quote:

It is a leap year only if the remainder of ( 52 × Year + 146 ) / 293 is less than 52.
