Dave,
Neither a leap year nor one of the other 3 in between. Just the average! Just add 4 consecutive ones and take the mean. That extra day every 4th year amounts to an extra 6h onto 365 days on average. Simple.
I knew that if I quoted 8000h in a year somebody, somewhere around the world, would point out I was wrong (well, not accurate), so I replied as carefully as possible.
I always try to avoid putting things "in stone" unless there is a pretty fair chance I will not have to change it.
My lady says I am a "pedantic so-and-so" but that"s what comes of being in scientific and teaching environments, I suppose.
Sometimes I look back at a post and think "did I write that?!!?" or "that could be ambiguous"
For someone who thinks he is always right and the "other 9 billion are wrong", I am not going to admit that I drop a clanger now and then am I? Well not too often!
Cheers, and best regards, RAB
