Extended KotD #25, #26, and #27: INTEGER DIVISION, CINT, and CLNG
#7
0.5 rounds to the nearest even integer

Have to admit the rounding rules of CINT and CLNG are exactly as I'd expect them, and I'm probably the only one, but that is exactly how I learned the rounding rules it in school.

That probably proves once more, that the former East Germany way back ages ago had one of the most sophisticated education systems in the world. And it also explains why I never got in trouble using these commands and it brings always a smile on my face to see people struggle with things they should have learned in 5th grade already.

Unfortunately with the German reunion in 1990 they were not smart enough to take over the education system for whole Germany. They simply didn't want it, because it was communistic influenced.
The result, today each of the 16 federal regions in Germany teaches different things on different pace. If a family moves from Bavaria to Saxony, then their Kids its education is screwed because they are either one year ahead or one year behind.
