Subj:   Re: Intelligent rounding off
 
From:   Joe Celko

  If the first digit to the right of the decimal is odd it rounds up, if it is even it rounds down. Is that by design?  


This is the standard way that rounding is done in commercial applications. It reduces the total rouding error in summations.
