The bell curve of intelligence strikes again! This meme perfectly captures the horseshoe theory of knowledge about leap years. People with very low or very high IQs confidently (but wrongly) claim "2000 is a leap year," while those with average intelligence correctly state "2000 is not a leap year."
Plot twist: 2000 was actually a leap year! The leap year rule most people know (divisible by 4) is incomplete. The full rule: years divisible by 4 are leap years, except years divisible by 100, unless they're also divisible by 400. So 2000, being divisible by 400, was indeed a leap year!
The genius of this meme is that it makes you question your own position on the curve. Where do YOU fall? The calendar doesn't care about your IQ score, but February 29, 2000 definitely happened!
