I feel like celebrating on March 1st when it's not a leap year makes the most sense. If someone was born on February 29, then their birthday is the day after February 28.
I feel like celebrating on February 28th when it's not a leap year makes the most sense. If someone was born on February 29, then their birthday is the day before March 1.
I feel like celebrating only on February 29th during a leap year makes the most sense. If someone was born on February 29, then that's their birthday and their rate of aging is slowed by %80.
Your 80% claim doesn't account for people who live through a year divisible by 100 but not 400.
Children born today could feasibly turn 18 in 2096, but won't celebrate their 19th birthday in 2100. They'll turn 19 in 2104.
If their birthday is really % 80 then they reset to a newborn after age 79.
Username checks out, gottem with the modulo.
