    Leap years are each fourth year, except each hundredth year, except each thousandth fourhundredth year.

    1896 leap year
    1900 not leap year
    1904 leap year

    1996 leap year
    2000 leap year
    2004 leap year

    2096 leap year
    2100 not leap year
    2104 leap year

    Then you just arrange the 10 year window in different positions to overlap 1 to 3 leap years to reveal the three outcomes of the bug.

    - / - - - / - - - /
    - - / - - - / - - -
    - - 0 - - - / - - -

    - is a normal year, / is a leap year, 0 is an exceptional non-leap year.
