Can You Beat the Rock-Paper-Scissors Supercomputer?

[SomebodyNowhere]

in a first to 20 wins match against novice I won 20 to 12 with 16 ties

I was 4 - 20 - 4 against veteran AI. Dunno if that is good or bad.

 

[Canned Spam]

Fairly predictable moves, its not too hard to beat.
I got 10-4-6 on veteran.

 

[Choppaduel]

I WON

 

[Torrasque]

13 - 10 - 17 on regular.
I'll try veteran tomorrow.
Its hard to be irregular. The trick is to psych it out with patterns of 4, then 5, then 6.
Chances are, if you've done it before, the computer will know, and beat your ass

Edit:
Heh, seems my practice works on Veteran =]
I'm 11 - 8 - 11, but need to get some sleep
Its hilarious knowing what it thinks I'll play next, and completely illogic-ifying it
I'll have to show this to some of my psych and phil teachers to see if they fare better

 

[Ex Zimbo]

24 - 10 - 17 on veteran

Damn it, computers, you already beat us at chess and Jeopardy! Do you really need to take Rock, Paper, Scissors too?!

 

[WabbitTwacks]

that's not how random works. statistically it always evens out. if there is a 33.3% chance that the opponent will choose rock, then in lets say 1000 games his percentage of rocks would be approx 33.3% The more the games, the more precise the data.
It's probability theory and a bit of statistics, man

 

[Dimitriov]

Tried a few rounds against veteran got 3,1,1 might get harder if I went longer but I was crushing it

 

[DTWolfwood]

i was 15 - 2 - 13 when i stopped XD Veteran comp is fail if it thinks i have a plan! XD

 

[guntotingtomcat]

I played thirty rounds on veteran and won 15 times, drew 7 and lost 8.
I think that's pretty good.
Take that, skynet!

me>AI

thank god for that.

 

[Andy Chalk]

Boy, that's a lot of half-baked strategies out there.

 

[zidine100]

its 14 9 14 after 38 rounds

after 96 rounds its 32/32/32.

100 its 34/32/34 alright this is getting annoying now.

So the novice computer kicked my butt, but the veteran is easy....

"with each player winning, tying and losing one-third of the time,"
Not true

Not that everyone is great at such things, but I would imagine a site focused on gamers would have a much higher percentage of people who can beat up on an AI.

Also, it claims to guess your patterns by looking at a database of prior moves, so I was having fun trying to set up a pattern and then break it in the end. It called my bluff on Landslide and Bureaucracy gambits every time.

I still have a hard time trusting the computer not to cheat when I have to give it my result before it displays its own. But that's slightly hard to avoid here.

huh ok.... why did you quote me ?

 

[Varitel]

Yes and no. I was able to beat it on novice for a bit, but then it pulled ahead. I was also beating it on veteran for a few rounds, but then it pulled ahead again. I'm telling you, it's like it's in my head. (this is a joke, please don't point out that it actually sort of is)

 

[BrotherRool]

Your second round result wasn't anywhere near significance.

I tend to try to introduce some sort of random element if I ever do anything. The decimals of , converted to a random base of my choosing or something (cos I'm sad like that ) I guess I'd choose root 17 here, because chances are someone else is using Pi and the computer knows it

 

[fenrizz]

25 rounds:

13-6-6

Couldn't be bothered to play more than that.
