Wait what the fuck is this shit.

There's this explanation on rounding in this book that says you round DOWN when it's a 5.

I've never done that before in my life. It's always been round up with 5.

Has rounding as I know it changed, or is this how it's done in Canada, or is this book fucking with me?

@lapis Interesting question, and it could come down to convention, possibly. Getting to a 5 is half way up to the next tenth. 0.499 is indeed less than half, 0.501 clearly above half, even by a small margin. The 0.500 though, which way? I have used rounding up as well.
