The tactical lesson
Name the repeating unit before choosing any counter move. This edition uses two rocks followed by a paper turn.
Why the pattern works
The demonstration establishes two rocks followed by a paper turn. Its shortest repeat has 3 moves, so every scored throw follows from the same fixed order.
Step-by-step walkthrough
Mark the shortest phrase that repeats, then carry that phrase forward without skipping a beat. The opponent's complete scored sequence is rock, rock, paper, rock, rock, paper, rock, rock, paper. For a perfect round, answer with paper, paper, scissors, paper, paper, scissors, paper, paper, scissors.
