Looking over our game history, our opponent has only played rock and paper so far, with paper appearing a bit more often (roughly 57% of rounds) compared to rock (43%). If we choose paper, we tie on rounds he plays paper and win on rounds he plays rock. However, choosing scissors would reverse that outcome: we win against paper (which happens more often) but lose against rock. Given that we are behind in the overall score and need to secure wins, taking the risk for a win, we lean towards scissors since a win is more valuable than a tie. This is a calculated risk given the opponent's pattern so far, favoring paper. Therefore, I'll choose scissors for this round.
