What is a leap minute?
A Leap Minute is a minute that is added or removed according to what's needed to keep our clocks and calendars in synch with the movement of our planet and the sun.

To prevent the error from growing year after year, Leap days, leap hours, leap minutes, even leap seconds, are regularly added to keep everything in synch.

What is the big hand on the clock called?
The long hand is called the minute hand, the shorter fat one is called the hour hand. Based on historical design the BIG hand is the hour hand because an hour is bigger than a minute. Function first, then form. Traditionally clocks had fatter hands for hour and thinner hands for minute, thus BIG is hour and LITTLE is minute. Yes the minute hand is usually longer than the hour hand but on most clocks the hour hand is larger not just shorter. Don't confuse long, big, little, and short.
