Back in grade school, against certain opponents, I could "intuit" their plays. In retrospect, I was probably doing something akin to what the robot here does (recognized what their hand was forming before I make my play) + discerning a pattern in their plays.

Also, at this point I have no idea why we played rock-paper-scissors so much in 3rd grade, but we did.




I could beat my younger sister at RPS every throw. I couldn't have told you exactly how I knew, but I knew what she had decided to play whenever she started to move her arm. So I would reveal before her and still win... that freaked her out.
