Back At it again

Ok I have picked the simplest puzzle / strategy game I could think of – Paper Scissors Rock and am trying to make a polished presentation of it.
I have 6 AI’s laid out on paper – there is a 60% it will pick on of those randomly and a 40% change it will pick the one of those that has gone the best historically. Or that is the plan. I hope to make it pretty tough.
Lunch was 2 slices of banana bread, probably going to have a big supper and while my 4 year old is napping I want to get some code done.
My brother and I play Rock/Paper/Scissors a lot. It’s been my experience that novice Rock/Paper/Scissors players disproportionately choose scissors as their opening move. When I discovered this, I consistently beat my brother for about six months before he noticed the pattern. It’s really kind of spooky. The two people I’ve tried this on that haven’t chosen scissors have chosen rock. No one’s picked paper yet.
You might try working this tidbit into one of the AIs.
