In a previous article, (William L. Bahn) says:


This is the same problem that establishes the difference between a solar
day and a sidereal day (24 hours / 365.25 days) = ~4 minutes/day. So, how
many times does the Earth rotate about it's axis, to the nearest quarter
day, (relative to the 'fixed' stars) in one year? It's NOT 365.25, it's
366.25. And if the Earth rotated the other way, our solar day (what our
watches keep track of) would be eight minutes shorter than they currently
are and there would be 367.25 days in a year.

Cliff,
Why do you do this ****.
The answer, of course, is zero - I mean 0.00000000000

Cliff:

Since everyone knows there are 365 and 1/4 days per year, this
obviously is some sort of trick question. So I would think the question
might be trying to bring to light that there is one extra complete
rotation, caused by the Earth going around the sun. So my answer would
be 366.25.

You fools, everyone knows that the Sun rotates around the earth, and
especially around me. If the earth really rotated like the government
says, we would be flung off by centrufical force. Yeeesh.
