Observing the opponent’s moves so far and noting that they lost round 7 when playing scissors against my rock, I suspect a lose‐shift strategy. Specifically, after a loss players often switch to the move that would beat their last move’s counter – in this case, since rock beat their scissors, they might shift to paper in round 8. Given that paper is also their most frequent move overall, I believe they could lean into paper next. To counter paper, I choose scissors, which should have the best chance to win round 8.
