Table 9.39 shows the accumulated error for a 100-dar period. The error figure represents the cumulative error at the end of each dar between the actual length of a dar and the official clock.
The second case is that of adding one second every four dars. In this case, the rule adds (100/4 =) 25 seconds in 100 dars, which is two seconds more than required. Hence, a second rule must be employed to effectively remove two leap seconds from the count. This may be accomplished by the following rule set:
1.) Every fourth dar, add one second at the end of the dar.
2.) On dar 50, subtract one second.
3.) On dar 100, do not add one second.
Because 100 is evenly divisible by four, dar 100 adds one second by rule 1. Preventing this addition by rule 3 is the same as allowing the addition and then reversing it with a subtraction. So, an equivalent set for rules 2 and 3 would be:
