I'm trying to remember. By process of eliminatation it must be 1972. As that was first leap year in the 70s and UTC was introduced then.

@SW-User Actually the First leap year was 44 BC.

@Hanging2 I said in the 70s UTC was introduced so as well as a leap year there were I think 2 seconds added too to correctly realign UTC with the astronomical clock.


I should have thought about other calendar realignments but in the 19th century the realignments generally took days away didn't add them
