I just played 100 rounds of this game, winning 47 times, tying 6, and losing 47. Very fun. I think it would be cool if I could look back at my previous games and figure out more optimal strategies so I could possibly get the slightest edge on the CPU.

I remember reading an MIT admissions article mentioning him: “A few years ago, we did not admit a student who had created a fully-functional nuclear reactor in his garage.”
