  • Leap years are each fourth year, except each hundredth year, except each thousandth fourhundredth year.

    1896 leap year
    1900 not leap year
    1904 leap year
    …
    1996 leap year
    2000 leap year
    2004 leap year
    …
    2096 leap year
    2100 not leap year
    2104 leap year

    Then you just arrange the 10 year window in different positions to overlap 1 to 3 leap years to reveal the three outcomes of the bug.

    - / - - - / - - - /
    - - / - - - / - - -
    - - 0 - - - / - - -

    - is a normal year, / is a leap year, 0 is an exceptional non-leap year.












  • I’m unfamiliar with the term field arrest. If I get this right, this is what happens when you get arrested for a misdemeanour on site, cited and then immediately let go? Possibly with a requirement of turning up to a police station for booking, or to a court date?

    I read a bit of the paper, and it seems they are simply using the data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997.

    The relevant NLS topical guide says the following:

    NLSY97 youth respondents are asked whether they have ever been arrested by the police or taken into custody for an illegal or delinquent offense (not including arrests for minor traffic violations) and the total number of times this has happened.

    And looking up the phrasing in the questionnaire is also exactly the same

    Have you ever been arrested by the police or taken into custody for an illegal or delinquent offense (do not include arrests for minor traffic violations)?

    So I guess it would depend on whether respondents consider a field arrest an arrest and report it.
