Hmm without googling it didn't the Olympic year change recently due to covid I think itmfid 2020 so how did that affect the leap year correlation

Good question. The Olympics were definitely held in in 2021. But I think it was still called Tokyo 2020. So, pick the bones out of that!

One of the questions was which year was a leap year, the bloke got it wrong.

I think he has got that wrong

It is good enough for me, as a rule of thumb. I hadn't linked the years before.

You are a perfectionist and an absolutist. I admire that.

Yes only today at work I was told exactly that. I get it a lot

The conversation went like this "How come all of your rules of thumb are so accurate" then someone chirped in and said "It is because he is a perfectionist and an absolutist" Then someone else chirped in with "He is really good looking too"
