Comment on How to win at rock-paper-scissorsComments−kingrolo12yThis article reminded me of a Rock-Paper-Scissors AI from a while back (requires Flash I think). http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/science/rock-paper-scisso...It uses data gathered from other players. I remember playing it at the time and it was creepy how good it was at beating me. Oddly it didn't do so well this time. Maybe because I've just read that article.−thomasahle12yAFAIR it works by storing the most likely human move for every 3 move sequence e.g. "St Pa, St Sc, St St".If we assume most players play similarly, and don't remember much more than the last three results, this works really well.
