Looking at the opponent’s moves, his choices in rounds 3–5 were exactly the moves that would beat my own (rock countered with paper, scissors with rock, and paper with scissors). However, his earlier rounds (rounds 1–2) did not match a strict reactive pattern. This leaves me with two possibilities: either he’s following a fixed counter‐strategy (in which every move would lose for me) or his moves are more variable. His frequency so far is rock: 2 rounds, paper: 2 rounds, and scissors: 1 round. If he’s random (or trying to equalize frequencies), he might lean on rock and paper more often. Since my paper beats rock, using paper gives about a 40% win chance if his bias holds (while the other choices have lower odds). Given that I’m behind in score, I need to maximize my winning chances. With these considerations, I choose paper for round 6.
