After analyzing the previous rounds, I notice that my opponent has chosen rock 3 times, paper 3 times, and scissors 2 times. Looking at the most recent pattern, my opponent has chosen paper twice in a row, suggesting they might switch to something else. Since the opponent has often countered my moves effectively, I'll choose rock for this round. Rock would beat scissors if the opponent decides to switch to scissors after playing paper twice. Additionally, the opponent has shown a tendency to play rock after I play paper (as in rounds 5-6), so anticipating this pattern could result in a tie rather than a loss.
