Being born on leap day
Odds
1 in 1,461
per birth (calendar) · Gregorian calendar
What this means
Nearly exact calendar math — a clean trust-builder next to fuzzier injury stats.
Methodology
Approx. 1 leap day per 1,461 days in the Gregorian cycle (365×3 + 366). Ignores slight birth-seasonality and century leap rules for simplicity.
