+# Leap
+
+Given a year, report if it is a leap year.
+
+The tricky thing here is that a leap year in the Gregorian calendar occurs:
+
+```text
+on every year that is evenly divisible by 4
+  except every year that is evenly divisible by 100
+    unless the year is also evenly divisible by 400
+```
+
+For example, 1997 is not a leap year, but 1996 is.  1900 is not a leap
+year, but 2000 is.
+
+## Notes
+
+Though our exercise adopts some very simple rules, there is more to
+learn!
+
+For a delightful, four minute explanation of the whole leap year
+phenomenon, go watch [this youtube video][video].

+[video]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX96xng7sAE
+
+You will see a `cases_test.go` file in this exercise. This holds the test
+cases used in the `leap_test.go`. You can mostly ignore this file.
+
+However, if you are interested... we sometimes generate the test data from a
+[cross language repository][problem-specifications-leap]. In that repo
+exercises may have a [.json file][problem-specifications-leap-json] that
+contains common test data. Some of our local exercises have an
+[intermediary program][local-leap-gen] that takes the problem specification
+JSON and turns in into Go structs that are fed into the `<exercise>_test.go`
+file. The Go specific transformation of that data lives in the `cases_test.go` file.

+
+## Coding the solution
+
+Look for a stub file having the name leap.go
+and place your solution code in that file.
+
+## Running the tests
+
+To run the tests run the command `go test` from within the exercise directory.
+
+If the test suite contains benchmarks, you can run these with the `--bench` and `--benchmem`
+flags:
+
+    go test -v --bench . --benchmem
+
+Keep in mind that each reviewer will run benchmarks on a different machine, with
+different specs, so the results from these benchmark tests may vary.
