Based upon my recollections from other sources, there was no year zero between B.C. and A.D.; so A.D. started with year 1.
Also, I recall Alex Trebec stating in Jeopardy years ago that 2004 would be the first leap year of the 21st century (so even though Y2K was a leap year, it wasn't considered the first year of the 21st century).
However, these are not my rulings, just what I remember from other "authorities".
To wit:
Year zero
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
"0 A.D." redirects here. For the game, see 0 A.D. (game).
For other uses, see Year zero (disambiguation).
Year zero is not used in the widely used Gregorian calendar, nor in its predecessor, the Julian calendar. Under those systems, the year 1 BC is followed by AD 1. However, there is a year zero in astronomical year numbering (where it coincides with the Julian year 1 BC) and in ISO 8601:2004 (where it coincides with the Gregorian year 1 BC) as well as in all Buddhist and Hindu calendars.
If decades are measured by the 3rd digit of the calendar year, why does measuring centuries abide by the 4th digit?

I don't have a top 10 scores for the decade (haven't thought it out), but I have a top 5 overall:
- The Dancer Upstairs (alberto iglesias)
- Birth (alexandre desplat)
- Mission to Mars (ennio morricone)
- On the Beach (christopher gordon)
- Deep Blue (george fenton)
I'm guessing AI (John Williams) will be somewhere among the rest.
