VBA uses "Banker's Rounding" (which I think is a term that MS made up),
to round a 5 in the least significant digit to the nearest *even* number
in the next most significant digit.

This method is frequently used in science and statistics. See

Rounding in VBA doesn't seem to be consistent. Running the following code
shows that 3.825 rounds down to 3.82, and 3.875 rounds up to 3.88.

MsgBox ("3.825 rounded = " & Round(3.825, 2) & "; 3.875 rounded = " &
Round(3.875, 2))

Is there an explanation for this?
