This ''really, absolutely, truly, is 100% easy!'' To tell if a number is divisible by four, look at the last two digits. If the last one is divisible by four, the penultimate one is even. If it isn't divisible by four, the penultimate digit should be odd.

This is extremely easy - look at the calendar for the year and see if it has a 29th Feb.[[Special:Contributions/141.101.76.16|141.101.76.16]] 10:40, 3 January 2018 (UTC) | This is extremely easy - look at the calendar for the year and see if it has a 29th Feb.[[Special:Contributions/141.101.76.16|141.101.76.16]] 10:40, 3 January 2018 (UTC) | ||

I think the joke in the title text is a play on the old joke that even though we know every year when Christmas falls, and every year we always say that we are going to begin saving or shopping in the months preceding Christmas we always get to December and are "surprised" that Christmas happens to be in December. Effectively Randall is suggesting that the reason we are surprised Christmas is in December is not due to forgetting but rather that we are "calculating" when the day is. Also related are Jokes about American Tax day (April 15th) or pretty much anything to do with procrastination.

Here is some trivia! This comic is number 1935. In 83 more comics XKCD will reach number 2018. So sometime in the year 2018 we will have comic number 2018. Now go calculate what date that will happen ... and don't pull out your pocket slide rule [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule] to do the calculation.

Trivia "So we will have a comic named 2018 and a comic numbered 2018 both in the year 2018" is wrong: actually, comic named "2018" was published in the year 2017.
