Try to beat this bitchass computer at rock paper scissors. i did it on novice (as opposed to veteran, which lets the computer use its data from games with everyone) and played 20 rounds, had 9 wins, 5 ties, 6 losses

who can beat me?

i wonder if it can still calculate a pattern even if i think im doing random

its not that hard to outsmart a computer btw, if you know what it knows, go one step ahead of that.


Unless it knows you know what it knows, so then its a step ahead of you being a step ahead of it..

the trick is to play the hand the compiter thinks it would beat if you play the same hand as last time. for example you play paper and beat rock, the comp will want to beat your paper and play scissor. then you play rock to beat the scissor. so basically play what the comp played last time
