Never in all my years of math…

… have I heard of round odd or round even. Um? If the digit to the right is five or greater, round up. Otherwise, truncate.

    Yeah, I just heard this thing last week while working on my meatballs project. And I was like, “What?” My group members said they have been doing this since high school, and it was taught in class at the beginning of the year. I must have been asleep that day. I felt like I was schizophrenic for the last 10 years. I had to ask Javid if I was totally losing it or something, but he told me he didn’t know anything about this rule. So that made me feel better. Unless Javid is my imaginary roomate.

    Lets try and stay out of the complex plane. The 3 dimensions here are plenty for me. Oh and I did a little research into the whole odd and even thing, and it is a commonly used practice in statistics, but I haven’t seen it used elsewhere.
