Rock, Paper, Scissors, shoot!
Found this, you play vs. computer... novice or advanced, advanced takes 200,000 previous people's playing habits and uses them vs. you.  Novice, computer is learning vs. just you as its experience.

EDIT: Round 23, advanced, jr2: 10 ties: 5 computer: 7

EDIT2: 18, 16, 13, bored now... anyone know of a link to a harder version?

I threw the computer for a loop by playing what it predicted I would play on the previous hand.

It totally worked, until I got caught in an infinite rock loop. :(  Fuuuuuuuuuu
In my world of sleepers, everything will be erased.
I'll be your religion, your only endless ideal.
Slowly we crawl in the dark.
Swallowed by the seductive night.

Nash equilibrium is ⅓ ⅓ ⅓, aka random. If we knew the algorithm of the computer we could do better than Nash, but hey, it's rock paper scissors, who cares?
