State
When the digit dropped is exactly 5 with nothing after it, round to whichever neighboring digit is even, not up.
Show
92.85 rounds down to 92.8, since 8 is already even, while 0.90275 rounds up to 0.9028, since 7 is odd and 8 is even.
Watch for
The "round 5 up" rule from grade school does not apply here — it introduces bias.
