I haven't really the slightest clue about coding (Yea I'll admit it) but I
do remember from physics / chemistry classes that .5 #'s are rounded
different. IE: 3.5 rounds to 4.0 and 4.5 also rounds to 4.0. If the #
preceeding the .5 is even it just drops the .5, if the # preceeding the .5
is odd, it rounds up (you always get an even # as an answer)
Probably not what is happening with that but I was bored and decided to
write an email :)
