The rule is - whatever number of decimal places you're rounding off to - look at the NEXT number...

For example - round 23.456 to two decimal places. The number in the THIRD decimal place is 5 or more so you round UP to get 23.46.

IF the number had been 23.454, you would round DOWN to yield 23.45.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
