Alex,

The problem is that the leap second occured in a leap year, an event probably
unanticipated by Sun. Not to worry, it is easily fixed by simply stacking 
another penny on the pendulum, as was done by the Big Ben keepers. You may
have to use the old-fashioned kind before they started adding all that
aluminum goop. Old Pence are the best kind, but they are rather hard to find.
