Planetary characteristics
1 HM year = 381.3668618 Earth days/357.0806527870906 HM days
1 HM day = 25.6323176 hours
86400
357 days = 51 7-day weeks
leap day every 12.3988275678 years
months: 30 30 30 29 30 30 30 29 30 30 30 29(30)
every 12 except: when the year is divisible by 372
perfect for clofabians
so the years 270, 520, 790, X40, 10E0, 1360, 1610, 1880, ... are not leap years
actually if the year is divisible by 130944=352*372 it's a leap year
