Looking at the previous rounds, my opponent has chosen rock in rounds 2, 4, and 6, showing a possible pattern of using rock in even-numbered rounds. Since we're now in round 7 (odd number), my opponent might not choose rock based on this pattern. Additionally, the opponent has chosen scissors twice and paper once in odd rounds. Given that the opponent might be recognizing their success with scissors (won rounds 3 and 5) and might continue with this strategy in odd rounds, I'll choose paper. While paper loses to scissors, it's a strategic choice to break the predictable pattern of my previous moves, as I've been cycling through rock, scissors, paper in that order. By choosing paper now instead of the expected rock, I'm attempting to disrupt any pattern recognition by my opponent.
