%%%NOTE ON LEAP YEARS:
%In the Gregorian calendar, a leap year is a year that is either (a multiple of 4 but NOT a multiple of 100) or (a multiple of 400). This yields 97 leap years every 400 years. The total number of days in 400 years is thus 365*400+97=146097, which is a multiple of 7 (20871*7=146097). Thus the calendar repeats itself with a 400-year cycle, hence the need for 400 years on the back wheel.
