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.
