Gene moved to a new school on the 24th day of the 2nd month of a common year. When his new teacher introduced him to the class, Gene told them that his birthday was only seven days away. When is Gene’s birthday? How many days away would Gene’s birthday be if it were a leap year?

Answer:

Genes birthday is February 29th, or March 1st on a Leap Year

February has 29 days in a common year, so 24+7 is the 29th

February has 28 days in a Leap Year, so one less day would lead you to March 1st
