+# Leap
+
+Given a year, report if it is a leap year.
+
+The tricky thing here is that a leap year in the Gregorian calendar occurs:
+
+```plain
+on every year that is evenly divisible by 4
+  except every year that is evenly divisible by 100
+    unless the year is also evenly divisible by 400
+```
+
+For example, 1997 is not a leap year, but 1996 is.  1900 is not a leap
+year, but 2000 is.
+
+If your language provides a method in the standard library that does
+this look-up, pretend it doesn't exist and implement it yourself.
+
+## Notes
+
+Though our exercise adopts some very simple rules, there is more to
+learn!
+
+For a delightful, four minute explanation of the whole leap year
+phenomenon, go watch [this youtube video][video].

+
+## Rust Installation
+
+Refer to the [exercism help page][help-page] for Rust installation and learning
+resources.
+
+## Writing the Code
+
+Execute the tests with:
+
+```bash
+$ cargo test
+```
+
+All but the first test have been ignored.  After you get the first test to
+pass, remove the ignore flag (`#[ignore]`) from the next test and get the tests
+to pass again.  The test file is located in the `tests` directory.   You can
+also remove the ignore flag from all the tests to get them to run all at once
+if you wish.
+
+Make sure to read the [Crates and Modules](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/crates-and-modules.html) chapter if you
+haven't already, it will help you with organizing your files.
