You are playing Rock, Paper, Scissors, and your opponent just beat you with Rock. What do you throw next?

[CitizenVectron]

This is a little experiment. You are playing a 2-out-of-3 game of RPS for $1,000, and you just lost the first round by throwing scissors to your opponent's rock. The countdown has started...

ROCK
...
PAPER
...
SCISSORS
...
THROW!

What do you throw? Please don't look at the poll results before voting, but feel free to explain your reasoning below.

 

[BringBackSonics]

I'm coming right back with the scissors again.

 

[HardTimesFamilyPride]

Hands.

Spoiler

I am very bad at this kind of stuff

 

[Perkin_Warbeck]

Yeah I throw scissors again, it's probably what they'll expect least.

 

[fracas]

Scissors for sure. The odds are stacked in your favor of either winning or tying round 2.

 

[sir_crocodile]

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Rock.

Last Move reversey

 

[fallingedge]

 

[SteveMeister]

I was going to reply with the last choice. Bravo for including it :-)

 

[julia crawford]

I'm thinking they'll play the hand they lost to, so probably rock.

 

[kyle mechlachlan]

You tell the person you're going to throw Rock

Then you throw Rock.

edit: beaten twice ffs

Vin Diesel

 

[KillstealWolf]

I mean, if you lost to rock, might as well commit Sudoku there.

 

[Deleted member 4367]

Whatever is next in the random progression I came up with before we started.

 

[Parthenios]

Lies. There's no way I could be beat by an opponent throwing rock

Spoiler

because I throw rock 100% of the time

So you wanna lose against rock again?

 

[Sargerus]

Heaven's Door

 

[Torpedo Vegas]

An actual rock.

 

[Heynongman!]

Rock, Paper, Scissors is 95% a mind game, so I cannot answer this question without staring my opponent in the eyes.

 

[99nikniht]

This depends on who you're playing against and how well you know the person.

This essentially.

 

[Thorzilla]

Yep, scissors again.

 

[BigDes]

a punch

 

[Seductivpancakes]

Gun

 

[Normanski 2.0]

 

[GulAtiCa]

 

[ArgyleReptile]

Hmm, too many people seem familiar with the second scissors technique.

I'm going rock. Steal their throw.

 

[Holyoneturtle]

PAPER!!!
They'll never see it coming.

The street always wins

 

[MrCibb]

Fire. Beats everything.

 

[RiOrius]

1 and 2 are always scissors. After that I may go paper, but my first two moves are always scissors.

 

[affeinvasion]

This premise is spurious because I would never throw scissors in the first round of three game set.

 

[Firebrand]

Shotgun

 

[PeskyToaster]

They think I will try to trick them by throwing scissors again so they will throw rock but I know that they think I will trick them so I will throw paper but i know that they know that they think i will try to outsmart them by throwing scissors but they think they know this so they will throw rock and i know this so i will throw paper and there's no way they could unravel this so i will always win.

 

[PlateOfShrimp]

Ridiculous question! I need to know where we're playing at what time against who along with what the temperature is outside, and then I can calculate the winning move. I'm not gonna just guess here!

 

[mbpm]

 

[Doggg]

Beaten at Rock Paper Scissors. I'm devastated.

 

[HiLife]

I punch them in the eye.

 

[samred]

you throw Rock, I throw:

 

[gforguava]

 

[Youngfossil]

Honestly, when playing RPS, I got Ultra Instinct. I dont even think. I go by sheer instinct. I win most of the time.

So I guess to answer the Q... I dont know

 

[Ruruja]

Paper.

I believe their contracts stipulated they fight to a draw :p

 

[b00]

Hypothetical question is invalid as I would have thrown rock first. Always throw rock

 

[CitizenVectron]

Very interesting results.

 

[Wingfan19]

Hurricane - Cat 6

 

[The Albatross]

I always throw the same shit every time

 

[Kuga]

Scissors is my next play. I ain't no scrub.

 

[makonero]

No Spock? Damn you!

 

[Contraband]

Best two out of three and this is a tire breaker?

I'm grabbing the hammer and airing this game of Rock, Paper, Scissors out before I catch an L.
