0:00Shall we play a game?

0:01Perhaps the greatest strategy game yet devised.

0:05Rock,

0:06paper,

0:06scissors.

0:07On these three,

0:08through human history,

0:09have hung so many critical moments,

0:12their outcome determined by

0:14rock defeating scissors,

0:15scissors defeating paper,

0:17or paper defeating rock.

0:19This being the most critical,

0:21for you will test your skill against me

0:23and might have the luckiest day of your life

0:26by winning not just on the first round,

0:29on the first try,

0:30but also then the second,

0:32the third,

0:33again and again,

0:34win after win,

0:36stacking nerve-wracking odds until you achieve

0:39a one in a million

0:40winning streak.

0:41Impossible, you say?

0:42Well, I've got the spreadsheets to

0:44prove it's all but inevitable,

0:46at least for someone.

0:47See, you have just joined a group of

0:49the nearest million viewers of this video

0:51to you,

0:52in time,

0:52all now players prepping,

0:54getting ready to

0:55rock with rock,

0:56prevail with paper,

0:58or slay with scissors.

0:59Your million cohort stands strong at the start,

1:02but after each round,

1:04only the winners shall remain.

1:05Repeat and repeat

1:07until there will be but one,

1:10ONE WINNER

1:11in a million.

1:12One who will feel like a surreal

1:15god of this game.

1:17Pretty great, right?

1:18Now, a note.

1:19Of course, we aren't really

1:20playing live in a hall,

1:22you are watching this video,

1:24that I wrote in your past,

1:25to play against you across time.

1:27So to you, I am set in stone.

1:29I can't know what you throw,

1:31I can only reveal the paths onward,

1:33through this maze of probability,

1:35and trust in you to continue true.

1:39But I warn you now,

1:40you get only one shot at this game,

1:43and I beg you to be honest,

1:45for I am trapped here in time.

1:48A Sphinx suffered to

1:50sever successful streaks of wins,

1:52having to eject untold

1:54hordes of players from this maze,

1:57for decades to come.

1:59But I want nothing more than

2:00for the first honest player to win.

2:03For some lucky hero to defeat me,

2:05at every junction,

2:07to pass to the end.

2:09The very end.

2:10This isn't a game.

2:11This is a quest through the improbable.

2:14For you.

2:15For us all.

2:16Alright!

2:16Enough weird foreshadowing.

2:18Good luck to everyone in this group of a million.

2:20Get your mind in the game.

2:22Get your fist in the air.

2:23We're about to play the first round,

2:25and I'm gonna go rock,

2:27or am I?

2:29Rock paper scissors can be

2:31such a mind game, you know.

2:33Am I going rock?

2:34Maybe I am.

2:36Maybe I'm not.

2:37Either way, I'm totally going rock.

2:40Ready?

2:40This is for real.

2:42Rock, paper, scissors,

2:43and

2:44shoot.
