At Greg's place, two friends, named Greg and Adam are just chilling on the sofa, Adam watching the TV while Greg plays on his phone. It's late in the night, Adam is about to fall asleep, but then an ad comes up...
TV: Aaaand finally the long awaited game show, Big Win Chance Game is coming back! You think you are smart? Do you need money? You think you could beat anyone in any type of mind games? You are at least 16? Then this is your chance to win the grand prize of 10.000.000$! You heard it right! You can try to register for the game by filling in the test on BWCG.com and 100 players will be selected! But in the end, only 1 can win!
Adam: WOAAH! It has already been four years? I can't wait to watch it! It's always so exciting!
Greg nods and says: Yeah, time flies really fast, isn't it?
Adam: Wait. They said the age-limit is 16? Wasn't it 18 every single time before?
Greg: Yeah, it was, Wonder why they decided to lower it.
Adam puts his hand on his chin, thinking about something.
Adam: Hey Greg! I think you should join too! Like you win against me at go, chess (even tho I'm a little above 1500 elo) and in every strategy game we have played! I think you would have a good chance of actually winning the show!
Greg: You are too late... I cannot register now.
Adam: Huh? But why?
Greg: Because I already did.
Adam: Wait, really? Why didn't you tell me?
Greg: I was curious if you would ask for it. Anyway, you really just heard about this show starting again? You are like the biggest fan of it and it's on TV and all over on social media.
Adam: No I really didn't.
Greg: You should apply for the show as well!
Adam: Wait! ME? Nahh, I don't think I would have any chance. I saw earlier seasons, and some guys were absolutely insane with what they were doing throughout the entire show at all the games.
Greg: But you like mind games, don't you?
Adam: yeah I do, but I just know I wouldn't have any chance at winning.
Greg: Then what about we do play something? If I win, you will have to join the show too, but if I lose, then you don't have to. That sounds good?
Adam: No way, no. You would destroy me in anything!
Greg: Then what about if you decide what we play?
Adam (Me to choose? Does that change anything? Or maybe if I choose a luck based game?)
Adam: I mean, okay, I'm in!
Greg: Well then? What should we play?
Adam (Okay, so I have to think about a luck based game! I think I will go with the simple rock-paper-scissors game!)
Adam: Okay! What about we play Rock-paper-scissors?
Greg: Rock-paper-scissors? Not a bad choice. A luck based game so you have better chances?
Adam looks away: Y... You know I had to.
Greg: Then how about a best of 5?
Adam: Why best of 5?
Greg: Wouldn't just one simple game be too short? Come on, it will be more exciting this way! So, ready?
Adam: If you insist. It shouldn't change my chances at winning.
Greg: Then why waste any time?
The first round started! Rock-paper-scissors!
Greg played scissors!
Adam played rock!
Greg 0 - 1 Adam
Adam: WOOW! I Actually won!
Greg: Huh? I lost? I thought for sure you are going to play paper somewhy.
Adam: Seems like you were wrong heh.
Greg is already ready to play the next round.
Greg: Hey! It's just the first round! Don't get too cocky!
Adam: Okay! I'm ready!
The second round started! Rock-paper-scissors!
Greg played paper!
Adam played scissors!
Greg 0 - 2 Adam
Adam: HUH? I am actually going to win? I am so lucky all of a sudden!
Greg: How could I be so unlucky? I don't like this!
Adam: Well, this how it feels to lose you know, anyway, let's just start the 3rd round, okay? I'm confident I will win by now!
The third round started! Rock-paper-scissors!
Greg played scissors!
Adam played paper!
Greg 1 - 2 Adam
Adam: Oh, seems like you got lucky this time...
Greg: Yeah, finally.
Adam: I'm ready for the next round! You won't be luck another 2 times in a row!
The fourth round started! Rock-paper-scissors!
Greg played paper!
Adam played rock!
Greg 2 - 2 Adam
Adam: Wha...? No way you got lucky twice in a row too! Surely you will lose next time! There is no way you get lucky 3 times in a row!
Adam (Okay, so no way he would play the same thing 2 times in a row, right? This is why I'm gonna choose rock again!)
The fifth round started!
They swing their hands up, then down. -ROCK
Then again, they swing their hands. -PAPER
And then finally. -SCISSORS
Greg played paper!
Adam played rock!
Greg 3 - 2 Adam
Adam: Wait... How?... Why would you?
Greg: Seems like you lost. So you have to join to the Big Win Chance Game!
Adam: Hey! You won 3 times in a row after losing 2 times at the beginning and you still do as if it would be nothing! You are extremely lucky, you know?
Greg: Luck? No. It's nothing to do with luck.
Adam: Huh? What do you mean it was not luck? It was just literally rock-paper-scissors!
Greg: Then let me explain!
Greg: In R.P.S. (rock paper scissors) if your opponent doesn't know all about what I'm going to explain to you, then it's like 99% true to everyone. There are signs of your opponent going to go, and it's the position of their palm! If their palm is loose, they are going to play rock, if their middle and pointer fingers are stretched, they are going to play scissors and if all of their fingers are stretched, they are gonna play paper!
Adam: No way, and I thought it was a simple game! But, wow! Your reaction was insanely fast, and you have really good eyes! But wait! If you knew this, then why would you lose the first two matches?
Greg: oh! It's simple, really! For two main reasons. One: To make sure you know about this or not/ how you play, and two: So that you think that you have a chance of winning against me!
