"Banker's rounding" is the term I usually hear for this: round to nearest, but for ###.5 it rounds down if ### is even and up if ### is odd. It is considered more numerically stable when summing large sets of values, so it's very common in financial and statistics contexts. As such, it shows up lots of places in computing, and it's the default for .NET's Math.Round(). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding#Rounding_half_to_even
Is there a reason it's 3 9's, specifically?
