Yes, the Earth turns 366.25 times a year, not 365.25; the extra turn is due to 
the difference between the solar and sidereal day.
Amazing how many people don’t get it... our day is not defined as a rotation of 
the earth, but the time between midnight and midnight (or noon and noon) which 
is something else entirely...
As I said, win a bet with your friends.. or enemies!
