Leap Year Birthdays
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
This has been bugging me for more than a week now. Maybe somebody out there can answer this question for me.
Before I was 21, there was this line on my drivers license that said “Under 21 until 6/24/1998.” But what about people whose birthday is February 29? What does their “Under 21″ line on the license say?
Some of my theories include:
- March 1
- February 28
- The date that is 7,665 days after their birthday. (365 * 21)
- The date that is 7,670 days after their birthday. (7,670 + 5 leap year days)
- February 29 (for a year that’s not a leap year)
So what is it? Can anybody help?

Thats a good thought. Since a leap year baby will never have a 21st birthday. If I were born on leap day, I would take over February 28th AND March 1st on all 365 day years.
