"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

This is a weird rule. Is it new? Did I forget something this big?

I'd not heard of it either, though it suits my sensibilities much better than the "round fives up" rule I'd been taught. I was always a little miffed because the 5 is actually in the lower set of numbers, with any additional decimal places beyond the 5 moving it into the upper set.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

A dilemma. I have forgotten my wallet. I am going out tonight. Should I just swan off now and go get it (therefore having money for lunch), or should I wait and leave at 5, go home and get it?

My job can be really random sometimes. I just gave someone driving directions out of DC.

You know, I'd internalized the rounding rule. When it was explicitely stated, I went huh. And then I realized I did it automatically. Weird.

Swouncing

therefore having money for lunch

What are the lunch options if you don't have money?

Oh, thanks, Nilly! I've been around occasionally, but I come & go at random. I'm like the wind. Or Colonel Flagg. (And yeah, I was just brattily nitpicking about a GPA not being a statistic, because that is my way. I agree with your actual point.)

I never heard of rounding to evens until I worked for a place that does statistical research, so I'm more surprised by the people who have heard of it than the people who haven't.
