Three students S1, S2 and S2 perform an experiment for determining the acceleration due to gravity (g) using a simple pendulum. They use different lengths of pendulum and record time for different number of oscillations. The observations are as shown in the table.

If E1, E2 and E3 are the percentage errors 'g' for students 1, 2 and 3 respectively, then the minimum percentage error is obtained by student no.___________.
