I got my lease renewal offer. The website says I have until April 5th to answer.

Then I get a text from someone at the rental company saying that I need to answer by April 1st.

I pointed out the discrepancy. They bumped it up the chain of command.

If I see a discrepancy, I speak up.

Google's cute doodle for the Leap Day (29th February) 2024.

WHAT IS A LEAP DAY/YEAR?🤔🧐
Common/Calendar Year (y)=365 solar days 🗓
Solar/Tropical/Astronomical Year (Y)=365.2425 solar days🌏🌞
Y-y=0.2425; 4*(Y-y)=0.97=1-0.03 (+1 if divisible by 4)
100*(Y-y)=24.25=(25-1)+0.25 (again -1 if divisible by 100)
400*(Y-y)=97=4*(25-1)+1 (again +1 if divisible by 400)

That is to say,
Using logical and modulo operators, the year n is said to be a leap year if and only if:
(n mod 4=0)∧((n mod 100≠0)∨(n mod 400=0)).

In other words, a year is a leap year if it is evenly divisibly 4, except for years that are evenly divisible by 100 but not evenly divisible by 400.

For example, 2024 and 2028 are leap years; 2100 and 2200 are not, but 2400 and 2800 are.

This is our clever method to ensure that our calendar stays aligned with our seasons or Earth's orbit over time. If nothing were done about this discrepancy, our calendar would slowly drift out of sync with the Earth's orbit and seasons. After 100 years, we would be off by about 25 days! So, to fix this, we add an extra day, February 29, to the calendar every four years, with the exception that a year evenly divisible by 100 is not a leap year unless it is also evenly divisible by 400 (as shown in the calculations).

In the Way of Inquiry • Objections to Reflexive Inquiry 2

Our agent of inquiry is brought to the threshold of two questions:

• What actions are available to achieve the aims of the present activity?

• What assumptions already accepted are advisable to amend or abandon?

The inquirer is faced in the object of inquiry with an obstinately oppositional state of affairs, a character marked by the Greek word “pragma” for “object”, whose manifold of senses and derivatives includes among its connotations the ideas of purposeful objectives and problematic objections, and not too incidentally both inquiries and expositions.

In the Way of Inquiry • Objections to Reflexive Inquiry 1
• https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2023/02/05/in-the-way-of-inquiry-objections-to-reflexive-inquiry-a/

Inquiry begins when an automatic routine or normal course of activity is interrupted and agents are thrown into doubt concerning what is best to do next and what is really true of their situation. If this interruptive aspect of inquiry applies at the level of self‑application then occasions for inquiry into inquiry arise when an ongoing inquiry into any subject becomes obstructed and agents are obliged to initiate a new order of inquiry in order to overcome the obstacle.

At such moments agents need the ability to pause and reflect — to accept the interruption of the inquiry in progress, to acknowledge the higher order of uncertainty obstructing the current investigation, and finally to examine accepted conventions and prior convictions regarding the conduct of inquiry in general. The next order of inquiry requires agents to articulate the assumptions embodied in previous inquiries, to consider their practical effects in light of their objective intents, and to reconstruct forms of conduct which formerly proceeded through their paces untroubled by any articulate concern.

Breaking Physics: Muon G-2 Experiment Reinforces Surprise Result, Setting Up “Ultimate Showdown”
Findings at Fermilab show discrepancy between theory and experiment, which may lead to new physics beyond the Standard Model.
Physicists now have a brand-new measurement of a property of the muon called the anomalous magnetic moment that improves the precision of their previous result by a factor of 2.
