[PnP] pnp Digest, Vol 142, Issue 2

[Wout Broere]

As the rules stands P&P has three cases:
- nothing is said,
	just follow the normal math rules in rounding up/down
	your example is correct

- ROUND UP (RU)
	think of this as a ceiling() function
	any fraction is rounded up towards the next integeer.
	so EL1 1/3 becomes 1

- ROUND DOWN (RD)
	a floor() function
	so EL1 1/3=0
	EL2 2/3 becomes 0 as well
