Shall we play a game?

00:01

Perhaps the greatest strategy game yet devised.

00:05

Rock,

00:06

paper,

00:06

scissors.

00:07

On these three,

00:08

through human history,

00:09

have hung so many critical moments,

00:12

their outcome determined by

00:14

rock defeating scissors,

00:15

scissors defeating paper,

00:17

or paper defeating rock.

00:19

This being the most critical,

00:21

for you will test your skill against me

00:23

and might have the luckiest day of your life

00:26

by winning not just on the first round,

00:29

on the first try,

00:30

but also then the second,

00:32

the third,

00:33

again and again,

00:34

win after win,

00:36

stacking nerve-wracking odds until you achieve

00:39

a one in a million

00:40

winning streak.

00:41

Impossible, you say?

00:42

Well, I've got the spreadsheets to

00:44

prove it's all but inevitable,

00:46

at least for someone.

00:47

See, you have just joined a group of

00:49

the nearest million viewers of this video

00:51

to you,

00:52

in time,

00:52

all now players prepping,

00:54

getting ready to

00:55

rock with rock,

00:56

prevail with paper,

00:58

or slay with scissors.

00:59

Your million cohort stands strong at the start,

01:02

but after each round,

01:04

only the winners shall remain.

01:05

Repeat and repeat

01:07

until there will be but one,

01:10

ONE WINNER

01:11

in a million.

01:12

One who will feel like a surreal

01:15

god of this game.

01:17

Pretty great, right?

01:18

Now, a note.

01:19

Of course, we aren't really

01:20

playing live in a hall,

01:22

you are watching this video,

01:24

that I wrote in your past,

01:25

to play against you across time.

01:27

So to you, I am set in stone.

01:29

I can't know what you throw,

01:31

I can only reveal the paths onward,

01:33

through this maze of probability,

01:35

and trust in you to continue true.

01:39

But I warn you now,

02:16

Alright!

02:16

Enough weird foreshadowing.

02:18

Good luck to everyone in this group of a million.

02:20

Get your mind in the game.

02:22

Get your fist in the air.

02:23

We're about to play the first round,

02:25

and I'm gonna go rock,

02:27

or am I?

02:29

Rock paper scissors can be

02:31

such a mind game, you know.

02:33

Am I going rock?

02:34

Maybe I am.

02:36

Maybe I'm not.

02:37

Either way, I'm totally going rock.

02:40

Ready?

02:40

This is for real.

02:42

Rock, paper, scissors,

02:43

and

02:44

shoot.
