The tactical lesson

Keep the pattern position steady even after a surprising result. 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

Track where you are in the phrase after every throw and use the sequence itself rather than the previous outcome. 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.
