Scamwatcher:

Very good of you Sir for this initiative but beware that some of the participants may likely play a fast one on you by submitting more than one entries. It's a possibility.
Infact,some just ed few months ago, some few weeks ago and even one ed 2 days ago and his/her only comment is the summary he/she puts here.
I'm not pointing any accusing finger to anybody but just saying what we have seen severally on this forum. If you make a rule that any newly ed monikers will not be allowed please stick to it.
Kudos

Thanks. I'll note this

I'm Talking about Euler’s formulaTheorem.Euler’s formula, polyhedral version.

Let P be any polyhedron topologically equivalent to a sphere. Let V be the number of vertices, E the number of edges and F the number of faces of P. Then V-E+F=2.A graph is said to be a simple graph if it is an undirected graph containing neither loops nor multiple edges. A graph is a plane graph if it is embedded in the plane without crossing edges. A graph is said to be planar if it its such anembedding.

Theorem (Euler’s formula, graph version).Let G be any simple plane graph. Let V be the number of vertices, E the number of edges and F the number of faces (alternately, the number of connected sets in the complement) of G. Then V-E+F=2.

I was one of the candidates that submitted first....I was so much in a hurry to submit fast.....Never knew you would give an extension,that's the reasons for likely typos and poor punctuations

sorry for that sir, if I knew there would had been more time, I would had went through my work again, I didn't enter on time

Wow!
Sir, mine has a different format and clearly shows the formulas involved in the conversion compared to that on the site (cuemath). I developed that table format and formulas myself, so as to give a clearer view/understanding of the Fraction-Decimal resolution.

That is the major reason I titled it "Fraction-Decimal Resolution Table"

I'll be glad if this clarification is looked upon favourably.
Thanks Sir.

I’d like to thank everyone for taking out time to participate in this competition. Though it was not as intense as I expected it to be, there were still good submissions which showed sufficient creativity. My only grouse is that I couldn’t find an essay without extremely poor punctuation and/or very poor grammatical structure. There was ample time to get things right (more than 4 weeks), but it appears most people just made half-hearted attempts to turn in something. This is not impressive and frankly should not be rewarded. Naturally, it would mean there are no winners since none of the entries meet the required bar. However, not rewarding you guys for some of your work would perhaps be even worse.

This means I’m introducing a new twist. I’m cutting all prize money by half. I hope this will serve as motivation for you guys to take the next competition more seriously and try your best to turn in excellent work.

The winners this time are:
1st place ==> Olowomi11 ==> Prize money : 50k
1st runner-up ==> MrHistorian ==> Prize money: 10k
2nd runners-up ==> JasperjNr, Tekahashi, VillageBus ==> Prize money: 3.333k (split three ways)

Winners will receive a mail from me shortly requesting their details for transfer of the prize money. Winners will be strongly vetted to make sure they are students, because that was also a requirement for entry.
Good luck!
