Bzzzt! Thanks for playing!
You get 3.0 for your result. (I'm not a python genius but I keep an
interpreter handy just to type in stuff and see what I get.)
>>> round(int("348")/100,3)
3.0
In your example, you rounded the result AFTER the integer division of
348/100. But the result of the integer division was 3, so your rounded
version is 3.0.
