Shall we play a game?
0:01
Perhaps the greatest strategy game yet devised.
0:05
Rock,
0:06
paper,
0:06
scissors.
0:07
On these three,
0:08
through human history,
0:09
have hung so many critical moments,
0:12
their outcome determined by
0:14
rock defeating scissors,
0:15
scissors defeating paper,
0:17
or paper defeating rock.
0:19
This being the most critical,
0:21
for you will test your skill against me
0:23
and might have the luckiest day of your life
0:26
by winning not just on the first round,
0:29
on the first try,
0:30
but also then the second,
0:32
the third,
0:33
again and again,
0:34
win after win,
0:36
stacking nerve-wracking odds until you achieve
0:39
a one in a million
0:40
winning streak.
0:41
Impossible, you say?
0:42
Well, I've got the spreadsheets to
0:44
prove it's all but inevitable,
0:46
at least for someone.
0:47
See, you have just joined a group of
0:49
the nearest million viewers of this video
0:51
to you,
0:52
in time,
0:52
all now players prepping,
0:54
getting ready to
0:55
rock with rock,
0:56
prevail with paper,
0:58
or slay with scissors.
0:59
Your million cohort stands strong at the start,
1:02
but after each round,
1:04
only the winners shall remain.
1:05
Repeat and repeat
1:07
until there will be but one,
1:10
ONE WINNER
1:11
in a million.
1:12
One who will feel like a surreal
1:15
god of this game.
1:17
Pretty great, right?
1:18
Now, a note.
1:19
Of course, we aren't really
1:20
playing live in a hall,
1:22
you are watching this video,
1:24
that I wrote in your past,
1:25
to play against you across time.
1:27
So to you, I am set in stone.
1:29
I can't know what you throw,
1:31
I can only reveal the paths onward,
1:33
through this maze of probability,
1:35
and trust in you to continue true.
1:39
But I warn you now,
1:40
you get only one shot at this game,
1:43
and I beg you to be honest,
1:45
for I am trapped here in time.
1:48
A Sphinx suffered to
1:50
sever successful streaks of wins,
1:52
having to eject untold
1:54
hordes of players from this maze,
1:57
for decades to come.
1:59
But I want nothing more than
2:00
for the first honest player to win.
2:03
For some lucky hero to defeat me,
2:05
at every junction,
2:07
to pass to the end.
2:09
The very end.
2:10
This isn't a game.
2:11
This is a quest through the improbable.
2:14
For you.
2:15
For us all.
2:16
Alright!
2:16
Enough weird foreshadowing.
2:18
Good luck to everyone in this group of a million.
2:20
Get your mind in the game.
2:22
Get your fist in the air.
2:23
We're about to play the first round,
2:25
and I'm gonna go rock,
2:27
or am I?
2:29
Rock paper scissors can be
2:31
such a mind game, you know.
2:33
Am I going rock?
2:34
Maybe I am.
2:36
Maybe I'm not.
2:37
Either way, I'm totally going rock.
2:40
Ready?
2:40
This is for real.
2:42
Rock, paper, scissors,
2:43
and
2:44
shoot.
