In terms of efficiency, meaning to reduce the number of tests, I'd test the most probable one first, i.e. year % 4, which becomes 0 every fourth year, as opposed to year % 400, which becomes 0 every 400th year only (and not for the next 385 years., btw). So in the vast majority of cases, you'll be off with one single test only.

NAME
purity-ng - general purpose purity testing software
SYNOPSIS
purity-ng [OPTION]... list|FILE|TESTNAME
DESCRIPTION
Purity is an interactive purity test program with a simple, user interface and datafile format. For each test, questions are printed to
the your terminal, and you are prompted for an answer to the current question. At a prompt, these are your choices:
y Answer "yes" to the question.
n Answer "no" to the question.
b Backup one question, if you answered it incorrectly, or someone is watching you take the test, and you don't (or do) want to admit a different answer.
s Print your current score on the test you are taking.
q Quit the test, and print the current score.
? Print a help screen for the current prompt.
At the end of the test, your score is printed out. For most purity tests, lower scores denote more "experience" of the test material.
OPTIONS
--version
print current version of purity-ng
-h, --help
show the help message and exit
-p print the test without prompting for answers.
-r decrypt the test using the Rot 13 algorithm.
To get a list of all purity tests available globally on your system, run purity-ng list.
