Winning at Rock-Paper-Scissors

[Misfit]

In the first round, it’s impossible to know what your opponent will play, so it makes sense to choose at random. If you lose, switch to the move that defeats whatever your opponent used against you — if they played rock and won, they’ll probably play rock again, so you should switch to paper. If you win, switch to whatever beats the next clockwise option after what your opponent just played — if they played rock and lost, they’ll probably play paper next, so you should play scissors.

Spock smashes scissors
Scissors decapitate lizard
Lizard eats paper
Paper disproves Spock

Maybe a matrix will help?

The lizard is putting your fingers and thumb straight out, forming almost a cone shape. The thumb is the mouth.

If you don't know Spock...
