00:00I can guarantee that if you watch this video all the way through,
00:03you will win rock, paper, scissors every single time you play it.
00:06A 2014 study called Social Cycling and Conditional Responses in the Rock, Paper, Scissors game
00:11took 360 people and had them each play 300 rounds of rock, paper, scissors in random pairings.
00:18And from this, they were able to find a winning strategy for the game.
00:22And it is all thanks to one trick in psychology.
00:25When people win, they often become predictable.
00:27Let's say this is a best two out of three rounds.
00:30If you lose a round, play the move that beats what your opponent just used.
00:35If I play rock and they play paper, my next move should be scissors.
00:39If you win, switch to play the thing that would beat what you just played.
00:43If I play rock and they play scissors, my next move should be paper.
