Problem number eight, the year 2012 is a leap year, which means there are 29 days in February. Today on March 15th, 2012, my grandfather's ducklings are 20 days old.  When did they hatch from their eggs?  So currently the ducklings are 20 days old.  It's March 15th, so at the beginning of March, they were five days old. The month before March is February, and since it's a leap year, it has 29 days in it.  And the ducklings are five days old, so 29 minus five is 24. The ducklings were hatched on the 24th,  which means our answer is D, on February 24th.
