Robot Hand Beats You At Rock, Paper, Scissors 100% of the Time
wasimkadak writes "This robot hand will play a game of rock, paper, scissors with you. Sounds like fun, right? Not so much, because this particular robot wins every. Single. Time. It only takes a single millisecond for the robot to recognize what shape your hand is in, and just a few more for it to make the shape that beats you, but it all happens so fast that it's more or less impossible to tell that the robot is waiting until you commit yourself before it makes its move, allowing it to win 100% of the time."

That's what he meant by "beat this".
They would cease their countdown for initiating thermonuclear war.
When things get complex, multiply by the complex conjugate.
No. It always plays rock. And if you pick paper, it punches a hole in your hand.
33% of the time, it works every time!
