So far, we've had a perfect sequence of rock, paper, scissors, rock, paper. If my opponent is following patterns, they might expect me to choose scissors next to continue the rock-paper-scissors cycle. However, if they're mirroring my moves, they'll also choose scissors. I'm selecting scissors because: (1) If they continue the pattern themselves and play scissors, we'll tie again; (2) If they try to anticipate me breaking the pattern and choose rock to beat my expected scissors, I'll lose; but (3) If they try to be clever and choose paper, thinking I'll go with rock to break the pattern, I'll win. Given the 5 consecutive ties, it's worth testing if they're mirroring me or following a predictable sequence.
