00:00Pop quiz, hotshot. Was 1900 a leap year?
00:03If you answered yes, then congrats. You made the same error that Microsoft Excel has been
00:07making for decades. And before you start writing your comments, it's because end of century
00:11years have to be divisible by 400 to be proper leap years.
00:15So why haven't Microsoft's big brains fixed their mistake? Well, because it's load-bearing.
00:20Microsoft says that while it's technically possible to fix the glitch, it'd cause an
00:23avalanche of problems like decreasing dates in basically every Excel document by a day.
00:27It'd break date compatibility between Excel and other similar programs too, so Microsoft
00:32keeps the error going, saving us all from a really horrible few weeks at the office.
