Yes, an example with odd numbers would be a good idea.

For the record, I thought the official answer was that you don't round. If
you're going at a speed of 9 mu, you move 4.5 mu in the first half of the
movement, and 4.5 mu in the second half of the movement.

As with the range bands, unless you see a contrary statement...

I just meant that, as it's intermixed with the examples of spliting turn
points, and half MU's can be a novel concept, it can lead to confusion. I can
testify as to my first few readings.

I still haven't seen it stated explicitly, and examples could have carried the
info.

Oerjan: Just for clarification, isn't code for Kra'vak 'Karl', and the 'Karla'
in 'Karla's Kidnap' a female of the species? Otherwise, I think I used Karl
before, and could well have confused are own dear lister in
Germany. ;->=

Matt: The inestimable Mr.Brain has already related of being in a meeting in
the US, making a mistake on a pencil drawing, and asking the group for 'a
rubber.' My favorite construct, though I've never heard of it happening to an
Brit trying to chat up one of lasses, would be 'I'll come around to your flat
and knock you up...'

Allan: I think the appreciation of 'bum' might be more common than you think,
though you're correct that it tends to be seen as 'derelict' or 'out of
order'. 'I've landed on me bum' seems well understood.

Now, in the other direction, I understand a friend went to Nottingham, stop me
if I've already shared this, and told her husband's family to wait a bit while
she got her 'fanny pack'. Apparently, one of the aunts almost fainted until
informed 'no, dear, she means her bum bag...'

Churchill and Murphy STILL rule!

Well, I got SOME GZG in this one... *sigh*
