Well, of course I did not learn to round to odd. I learned to round .5 to above, but not to do repeated rounding.
Nobody rounds in passes, of course =). I was talking about two successive rounds.
In fact, by your explanation, you would have:
3.46 -> 3.5 -> 4
Which is most odd. 3.46 is definitely closer to 3 than to 4.
If you're doing a double rounding, then this error will always happen. Round to even avoids this error when the last digit was a 5, which is good. -- Felipe.
