I think it ends up being roughly the same kind of arithmetic that tells you that the 60th day of the year is March 1. Or maybe February 29.

One means "at the same point in time"; one means "have the same numerical value". Sort of like 100 degrees Celsius = 212 degrees Fahrenheit, but 100 * 9 / 5 + 32 = 212. _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
