Looking at the pattern of my opponent's moves (rock, scissors, rock, paper, scissors), they appear to be alternating between different options without a strict pattern. They've used scissors twice (rounds 2 and 5), which might indicate a preference. Since I lost the last round with paper against their scissors, they might expect me to choose rock next as a counter-strategy. If they're thinking this way, they'll likely play paper to beat my anticipated rock. By choosing scissors, I can counter this potential paper play. Additionally, if they repeat scissors again (which they've done before), we'll tie rather than lose.
