    Always round up on a .5. There is a logic to it but I can’t remember exactly what it is.

    Nitwit?

    I know you round down if it is below .5 and you round up if it is above .5: can't remember how you round for exactly .5 :confused:

    Speak for yourself...

    I'm the cooliest... :cool:

    Also, not a "lad"...

    "Lads" are the opposite of cool...

    Don't actually know why :o
    I think it's probably just that five digits go each way:
    0,1,2,3,4 go down
    5,6,7,8,9 go up

    But it was released in December 1985...... so would that mean rounding up or rounding down, now?? :confused:

    No, Band Aid's Do They Know etc. was first released in December 1984. It did re-enter the chart in December 1985.

    Oh wow, tough crowd in here tonight.

    No comeback for the 1984/19 85 business but I'm going to double down on my choice to round 42.5 down and say I was playing by Dungeons and Dragons rules where everything gets rounded down.

    .5 is starting the second half of the whole number so rounding up makes sense. Why is there even a debate here.

    Haha, I just sent you a rather long rant about them in my answer and just had to go back and double check I actually gave you a number.
