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.
