[PnP] pnp Digest, Vol 142, Issue 2

[Scott Adams]

Richard and I had a long email thread on his 'round up' stuff. ;)
When I wen tto school rounding up was
0.0-0.4999 rounds ot 0
0.50-0.99 rounds to 1.
Apparently his teaching was pre80s math. :)
If you are old enough to recall the infamous 'new math' stuff.  They 
just redid alotof silly math.
So as *I* was taught.
EL0 0/3=0=0
EL1 1/3=0.3=0
EL2 2/3=0.66=1
So EL2 would be needed.
So I figure Knowledge works here.  Can boost it that way.
OR Sup language at EL1+language.
Richard's odd ball rounding never understood. ;)
Maybe his was pre-75 era math?
