explanation of Round is confusing: Rounds a number to the closest integer that is larger than the input parameter.
Round(7.2) is 7 - does not seem to be larger than input parameter.

The statement above is only true when decimal part is equal .5 and decision has to be made which of two equally close integers we should select.
