This is really interesting considering that if you just memorize a sufficiently long string of random Base 3 numbers you can't lose more than 50% of the time, but with any discernible strategy you use to gain an edge there is a counter strategy to remove it.
- pinko 12y agoNot necessarily -- even if you could reliably choose your throws pseudo-randomly, that wouldn't eliminate physical tells (like the elbow swing the article mentioned). The interesting thing about this (to me, as an amateur) is that it's a little more multi-dimensional than I would have assumed.
- baddox 12y agoThis bot can reliably beat me, until I start using a randomly-generated sequence. Presumably, even in the absence of physical signals, if you could compute this algorithm, you could beat a human who isn't also using such an algorithm. http://www.essentially.net/rsp/play.jsp http://www.essentially.net/rsp/play.jsp
