A tiny New Year's programming challenge

[Werner]

Quote:The subroutine at LBL 53 returns the last week# (zero-based) for a given year, i.e. 51 or 52. It checks whether the year starts with a Thursday or – if it is a leap year – with a Wednesday. These years have 53 weeks, otherwise 52.

Isn't it easier then to test Jan 1st of Y+1? If it's a Friday, Y has 53 weeks, else it's 52. No need for leap year testing.
