I stole this situation from another forum but let's see how smart you guys are.

The situation is, you're playing someone and enter a complete rock paper scissors situation in which the stakes are high enough to make you care about winning. You know your opponent will throw out rock 70% of the time, paper 15% of the time, and scissors 15% of the time. You picked paper and your opponent picked scissors and you lost.

What should you have used?

Shouldn't rock be the obvious answer...?

Negative, of course it wouldn't be so easy! In this outcome it would have been the winning choice but that doesn't make it the best answer. Though there is no "correct" answer either but I'll show what the results were after a while, see if anyone wants to take a shot at the answer.

Doesn't matter what you use.

Your opponent knows what he's been using and what you've been using too. So if he knows he's been using Move A 70% of the time, he knows you will be using Move C to counter him so he will use Move B to beat Move C.

Mind games and whatnot

I'd rather go for a draw at first and then see how he'll react. Let's say he goes for rock the first time. We tie up and then there's a 30% chance he's gonna go for either paper or scissors. Here's when mindgames start coming up. If you want to play it safe you'd go for rock. If you wanna go berserk well....scissors.

I picked paper, huh? Of course I picked paper.
Bern is scissors, Bea is rock, but I am SUPER PAPER.
