BillyM is correct about the overhand w/ long tails. It's also been known as the EDK (Euro Death Knot) after its importation from Europe. The body of the EDK stays to one side of the loaded lines and thus has less tendency to hang up over edges when pulled. It's very simple to tie when tired & cold.
The IntardNet used to rage with arguments against the EDK but most accept it now.
The EDK is NOT an overhand knot. It is a Figure Eight knot.
It can roll at rappel forces. The overhand not so much.
