Also i have one doubt ... If i get a k/d of 3.33 , its .19 away from 3.14.

But if i get a k/d of 3 , which is only .14 away from 3.14.

Which would have more chance of winning ?

Yep, the link works fine. You can submit this link for the entry. As far as winning is concerned, I can't say anything. It all bottles down to how close other players were able to score to 3.14.

Mathematically you are right, keep the 3.33 (10/3) for the moment and try to get a closer one. All other players will try to get 3.14, and the possible closest is with 22 kills and 7 deaths. Or 19/6, 16/5 or 13/4 if you can't get too many kill.

The order is as follow 22/7 > 25/8 > 19/6 > 28/9 > 31/10 > 16/5 > 29/9 > 13/4 > 12/4 > 23/7 ... 

I have 25/8 so far. I was drawn into the heat of the battle and completely forgot about 22/7 

Good luck.

220 kills and 70 deaths is also correct. In case you would like to go for perfection but end up getting 22/8, then no worries. You could always go for 220 kills and 70 deaths. Its the same ratio upon division.

Any multiple will do (44/14, 66/21, 88/28, ...) as long as it is achievable in MM...

Next, will it be the perfect number known as “golden ratio” given by Leonardo Da Vinci? 

1.6180.... The Greek letter phi / φ symbolizes the golden ratio.

Guys let this be a reminder that you only have five more days to submit your entry. 

[Helios 725]

Thankyou Sacrifice ! Adready done with the challenged week ago.

[LOLKILLERTOTHEDEATH 1,921]

Epic contest! It would've been nice if pro battles are allowed. That way, you could use Maclaurin series to come up with progressively better and better values of kills and deaths to gain more accurate approximations to pi, though this would take loads of time Tanki wise.

Are there any consolation prizes?
