We are in a leap year, as indicated by the presence of Adar Bet. Leap years occur every third, sixth, eighth, eleventh, fourteenth, seventeenth and nineteenth years in the cycle. So how to tell which leap year we are in?

5765, 5768, 5771, and 5774 were all leap years. Can you figure it out now?– Double AA ♦Mar 20, 2014 at 18:09

The Tur has a handy-dandy chart of the year-cycles.– Y e zMar 20, 2014 at 18:10

5774 is the 17th year in the 304th cycle of the moon. See page 7 of this link
If you divide 5774 / 19 the answer is 303 with a remainder of 17.
