Fire power 2.95 bug

I was browsing the wiki and found a couple places where authors mention the fire power 2.95 bug. Can someone tell me what it is? I did my best, but I could not find a description or rationale behind this magic number.

Yeah... IIRC I was doing some extensive default bullet power testing and found that 1.95 drastically outperformed both 1.94 and 1.96 in a large test bed and this turned out to be why. I felt kind of dirty since I was both the person that introduced the bug and the one who figured out how to exploit it. :-/

Thanks guys. This clears it.

In retrospect, it is even strange to see the old based on rounding code. Is it a remainder of some attempts of code shrinking?

Looks like nobody wants to use buil-in robocode.util.utils.isNear :)
