Is a year 365 days or 365.25 days on WCG?

To the best of my knowledge a year in WCG time is 365 days.So if you have 10 years of time on WCG you have 3650 days of time, not 3652 or 3653 days. If you had started on Jan.1 of a leap year and ran 24/7, at the end of the leap year you would have 1 year and 1 day on WCG. If this is incorrect, somebody please correct me.

Sgt.Joe, you are correct - a year on WCG is a simple 365 days.

Sheesh. We know time is relative based on the observer. Our computers are observers and calculate the CPU time and elapsed time. Which is relative. Dividing by 365 is accurate enough for WCG purposes I think.
