Rav Shlomo Levy (RK of Yeshivat Har Etzion) says that it depends on
the question: when there is a leap year, is Adar I considered an extra
month and the real Adar is Adar II, or is Adar II the extra month
(kind of like pre-Nissan).  This depends on how one understands Mishna
Megillah 1:4 "ein bain adar rishon l'adar sheini ela kriyas
ha'megillah u'matanos la'evyonim"--does this mean that one could
fulfill seudas purim on Adar I?
