In game theory, the Nash Equilibrium of RPS is to play each option exactly ⅓ of the time — completely randomly! Any pattern can be exploited. Try the "Random" opponent to see why unpredictability is the only unbeatable strategy.
RPS teaches us that in zero-sum games (where one player's gain is another's loss), being predictable is dangerous. The best strategy is to be perfectly random — making it impossible for your opponent to gain an edge.
