Scissors beat paper. Paper beats stone. Stone beats scissors. Everyone has heard of this game but do you know how to become a master at it? Do you know how to win it every time? There are 2 ways you can become a master at this game.
Have really quick reflexes. As soon as your opponent chooses his hand sign, you identify it instantaneously and choose a hand sign that will allow you to win. Sounds tough? That is because you will not be able to achieve that. Our human reflexes and reaction time is too slow to pull that off. But a robot can do it!
(This robot has a 100% win rate in Scissors-Paper-Stone!)
For the rest of us who are not robots, there is a way to become better at this game and that is by Mathematics!
In summary:
1) If a person wins, there is a high chance he/she will continue using the same hand sign.
2) If a person loses, there is a high chance he/she will change the hand sign next round.
3) So if you win, you should choose the hand sign your opponent chose and use it as your sign for the next round.
4) So if you lose, you should choose the hand sign neither you nor your opponent used.
Now go challenge your friend to Scissors-Paper-Stone and use this technique to become a master!
