Every fourth year is a leap year
  EXCEPT every one-hundredth year
    EXCEPT every four-hundredth year

You've forgotten the first exception but somehow managed to remember
the second.  It's really very simple and easy to remember.

I'm reminded of someone who once asked me if 2000 was a leap year
because they had a contract that would expire on February 29th...  :)
