No cheating! If we catch you Googling or engaged in sneakery of any description, we'll make you write on the whiteboard 100 times:
The atomic clocks used to record Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) are hyper-accurate, but not quite accurate enough. To maintain the globe's official standard time, "leap seconds" must be added during leap years (years divisible by four, unless divisible by 100 and NOT by 400). The next leap second will be added at one second before midnight on June 30, 2012. As a consequence, clocks recording UTC time on that date will display 23:59:59 for two seconds instead of just one.

Actually, Mizzou Bluke, I got my last ticket punched at the University of Illinois and the two before that at Western Michigan University.
Paul Beck has solved it too. Nicely done.
That's it, cirronimbus. Good work. BTW, where did "cirronimbus" come from? There's no such cloud type, so maybe it's an inside joke or something?
It’s the name of one of my dearly departed dogs, Cirro Nimbus, sometimes affectionately called Cirro Nimbicile : ) She was half Australian shepherd and half Border collie, so picture half black with white spots and half white with black spots – including one large and perfectly shaped heart spot right on her butt. She looked very much a rain cloud. I know I know, there is no such thing as a cirro cloud, but Cirro just rolled off the tongue much more smoothly than Cirrus, IMHO. Don’t you just love the intersection of art and science?

The Quizmeister welcomes you to the winners circle, y_p_w. Sorry for the little mixup.
I'm afraid that photo doesn't show low tide at Acadia, djjeffrey100.
