agreeing with 'SmarterThanYou'\nany half cut into or divided twice or divided into 2 pieces is a quarter or 25% or 1/4\n50% = 50/100 or 1/2 divided by 2 (2/1) take the reciprocal now become 1/2 times 1/2 = 1/4

This problem is illogical. 50% equals 1/2 , but 2 does not equal 1/2 you idiot. If you divide by two, you either divide by two or MULTIPLY by 1/2. Hence, 1/2/2 = 1/4 or 25%.

Question: Leap Year is every 4 years. True or False ?

Answer: False. Every year that is exactly divisible by four is a leap year, except for years that are exactly divisible by 100, but these centurial years are leap years if they are exactly divisible by 400. For example, the years 1700, 1800, and 1900 are not leap years, but the years 1600 and 2000 are. So 3 out of every 400 years are not leap years.
