1.	Solve : The 210 leap year by Sony?
Answer» Is today March 1? If you have a Sony you can't be sure! Quote The geek meltdown that began last night continues unabated this EVENING as Sony plods through its PlayStation quagmire, largely due to 2010 being mislabeled as a leap YEAR. The ordeal started when clocks rolled over to March 1st and older (non-PS3 SLIM) PlayStation owners began experiencing a myriad of bizarre and unfixable problems, including blocked access to the PlayStation Network, corrupted trophy data, and an inability to launch certain games and videos http://www.switched.com/2010/03/01/gamers-beware-playstation-catastrophe-still-plaguing-ps3s/?icid=main WOW. just... wow. How does that EVEN happen? I mean, is it really that complicated to determine if a year is a leap year? Code: [Select]int isleapyear(int yearnum) { return ((yearnum%400==0)\|\|(yearnum%4==0&&yearnum%100==0) } Nope- not really. I wonder how it MANAGED to think it was a leap year in 2010 though...Nobody tested it? Hey, worked good last year, no need to test that. Can't possibly matter.

WOW.

just... wow.

How does that EVEN happen? I mean, is it really that complicated to determine if a year is a leap year?

Code: [Select]int isleapyear(int yearnum)
{
return ((yearnum%400==0)||(yearnum%4==0&&yearnum%100==0)
}

Nope- not really. I wonder how it MANAGED to think it was a leap year in 2010 though...Nobody tested it?

Hey, worked good last year,
no need to test that.
Can't possibly matter.
