Virtual RPS (just for fun)
We will assume previous (virtual) round was a DRAW both players choosing ROCK
Your algorithm will be of the form:
If lose then X
If draw then X
If win then X
Where X is of the form
my previous
beat my previous
lose to my previous
opponents previous
beat opponent's previous
lose to opponent's previous
You may complicate by introducing
different rules for odd and even rounds
Send me a PM with your algorithm for a 6 round RPS league.
It will be all play all.
Closing date for entries midnight 25th May.
I will publish results 1st June.
No skill involved except psychology!
@wolfgang59 saidCongratulations Divegeester.
With no further entrants divegeester remains top and is crowned RHPRPS Champion.
At risk of taking this way too seriously can we see how the rounds played out or do people want to keep their secret formula for future competitions??
@petewxyz saidYou would have to ask the competitors.
Congratulations Divegeester.

But I can assure you none were too complex!

@petewxyz saidI just picked the same against everyone.
Congratulations Divegeester.

@trev33 saidI stuck with my previous unless I won which was beat my previous, but I can't help wondering whether a mathematician would say that no system could change your odds so it comes down to second guessing others I suppose?

@petewxyz saiddivegeester chose ROCK every round regardless.
Congratulations Divegeester.

Trev33 chose SCISSORS every round regardless.
petewxyz was a bit more imaginative.
He kept his previous choice unless he won in which case he chose to beat his previous.
I'll umpire another league if there is a bit more interest!
@wolfgang59 saidThis is a site full of competitive people. If you get Divegeester to make much of his victory or you make much of it, people will arrive! Why not write an entry yourself before you get any others in. I seriously can't see cheating accusations for this but then I always was naïve!

@petewxyz saidThe next champion can umpire the following competition ... then I can take part.

I think divulging everyone's tactics will be a feature.
