Page 1 of Scissors Paper Stone vs AI

Two ways to play this, vs a novice which learns as it goes, or vs the statistical data of loads of people who have played it, which is much more interesting!

I took an early lead against the Veteren CPU, at one point I had won 5, 3 draws 1 computer win

it`s now 5 to me 6 draws, 7 computer wins :(

Once, when I lived in London my missus and I were having a discussion about who should do something trivial once, so were were playing rock paper scissors to see who "wins" while waiting for a tube.

several games ( I forget how many exactly) and we kept tieing. Tube arrived so we got on the tube, played some more games, and still kept tieing! The bloke opposite us started laughing, and we called it a day, as we must have played about a dozen games and it was too wierd and freaked us out so we gave up! Truly was irresistible force meets an immovable object, and we haven`t  played since!

I think the secret is to be completely random so the computer can`t learn your behaviour -- I had my best results when choosing the same thing several times in a row as the computer was predicting something different.
