This abuses errors in the fixed-point math, to have the first "error" line up exactly where we want, on that final leap second.A round-down multiplier is used, with a pre-increment, as that is the type of adjustment that yields an eventual long-minute and long-hour.

If everyone coded like this, we wouldn't have so many data centres spewing soot into the sky.

This is utterly incomprehensible tbh, but I guess I'll believe it
