Leap Year/Day

3 March 2016

Subject was on 29 Feb. 2016 which only occurs
every four years [2008, 2012 and 2016 etc.] This
means that every 4 years there are 24 hours added
to adjust for earth's rotation around the sun,
29 February.
The error is plus 5 hours, 48 minutes and
45 seconds. So doing the math the calculation
is in error 45 minutes. May be in the fact that
1600 was a leap year and 1700, 1800 and
1900 were not leap years??. Have 4 more
