About Rock Paper Scissors
Rock paper scissors survives because it is perfectly balanced: each throw beats one and loses to one, so there is no safe choice and no dominant strategy. Against a truly random opponent your odds are exactly even, which makes it the fairest possible way to settle a two-person standoff when no coin is around.
Here the computer throws at random, so there is no pattern to read and no way to be cheated - over many rounds you will sit close to a third wins, a third losses and a third ties. Pick your throw and both reveals appear together, with a running score across the three outcomes. It is a quick decider that runs in your browser and keeps nothing after you leave.
