<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 2453999, member: 33176&quot;]&quot;Rounding&quot; is an interesting concept.&nbsp; When I was a kid (Early Stone Age), we were taught that if the integer to be dropped was less than 5, the preceding integer was left alone (rounding down), if the integer to be dropped was greater than 5, the preceding integer was to be raised by 1 (rounding up).&nbsp; The interesting thing was that if the integer to be dropped was 5, if the preceding integer would be left alone if even, and raised by 1 if it were odd.&nbsp; When hand-held calculators came along, this was too difficult to build into them, so if the integer to be dropped was 5, the preceding integer was raised by 1.&nbsp; The world hasn&#039;t ended because of that change.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
