Well,according to the scientific rule which IIRC from high school is that if the number before the decimal is even,you round it down,if it's odd,round it up.
For example:
72,5 ---> 7273,5 ---> 74
But my calculation on this one is not 5 on the decimal number and therefore is easy to round it accordingly.
Never heard of that rule. It's like saying that 5 is an exception.

Round it to whatever the nearest foot is... None of this other crud (I've never heard of this even / odd stuff lol).
.49 or lower, round down. .5 or higher, round up
Never heard of that rule. It's like saying that 5 is an exception.
Well,apparently there are so many methods.

Me either. It's like Ralis said, & I learned in school, .5, & over, always rounds up, & .4, & lower, always rounds down. For example, anytime something costs $19.994, it's $19.99. If it's $19.996 then it's $20. Easy Peasy...

In this case Wikipedia is f'd up.
It's like Ragial. You can't always go by what it says :xd

That is entirely different from what you said which depends on the ones' place of the digit (whether it is odd or even), entirely disregarding the decimal.
But again, I do agree that those rules exist especially at CS/Math theory domain. But for elementary and high school math, even the third world uses the general rule.

Ragial is statistically correct, imo.
What matters here is that Rails clarified it already, and reviewing my answer now, it seems wrong. Mehh.

Not trying to change subjects, but what I meant is that you can't go off Ragial prices, & averages, based on something that is only sold once, or twice a month, for example. Just like Wikipedia's definitions don't always apply to the circumstances

Yes, I agree. Which means that the sample size/data is not large enough to be a reliable representation. But still, Ragial seems to be statistically correct and following its supposed algorithm. Players just need to have a dose of care and common sense when using it (checking history, counting number of sellers, etc. is one click away). Cause just like IRL, market can be played and manipulated.
