I think the use of a predetermined pattern could be classified as "rehearsing;" I know for a fact that other participants have been disqualified for this in the past, namely a group which used the "throw what your partner threw last time" strategy to get 27 games. It's up to the stride marketers, but based on previous cases, I would think this attempt should be denied in the sake of fairness.
Peter Craig
I think I'm with Neil on this one... There's no definite "rehearsed" pattern, but there is certainly a formula which I think is acceptable. Obviously it's impossible to achieve without a pattern but think it's kind of funny to think that anyone would play the game for 500 games or 1 hour in this way... it's difficult to pinpoint criteria to avoid "fixing" the result.
Neil Moallem
Reed, well done. However, based on the fact that we never actually used a real discernible pattern (as in we never broke any of the rules in the criteria), I feel that this attempt should be accepted. We did not rehearse these moves, we did not give each other signals, and neither of us threw a move more than twice in a row. It all checks out
Reed Erlandson
Oh, just a clarifying note: to determine what he would throw next turn, Neil followed a simple process. He could safely do one of two things each turn; throw what his partner threw last turn, or repeat himself, assuming he hadn't already thrown two consecutive things.
Reed Erlandson
I figured out the pattern Neil used to get 71 games. It's extremely clever, and took me a long time and some help from a couple friends to crack. Here's how he did it; Neil told his partner to never throw the same thing twice, and also to never throw on the next turn what Neil is throwing on the current one. For example: The girl throws a rock, and Neil throws paper. Next turn, the girl will throw scissors; it is her only option, as she cannot throw rock again, and Neil has just thrown paper. Check out the throws; you will see that the pattern holds true until the final throw, in which the girl throws a rock immediately after Neil has done so. Very clever, but grounds for disqualification, nonetheless.
Kevin Frazier
71, really does not seem possible without some kind of pattern. Noticed large chunks being repeated, please look into this very thoroughly. Seems odd that the girl on the left never threw two things in a row...
Rob Birdsong
Dustin - the 47 got DENIED because at the :50 second mark the gentleman on the right throws 'rock' three times, which is a violation of rule#1
Dan Rollman
This video is all kinds of awesome.
Emily Miethner
what the hell is the kid in the background doing?
Kevin Stuart
It's another long lasting record thing.
Schuyler Van Horn
wow. take 119! Talk about Long Lasting determination. Auto tag: Impressive. Also love the double record setting in one camera shot. Emily - he's doing Stride Record #71 -Longest Time Keeping Static Balloon Attached to Head While Dancing Like a Chicken
Dustin Barker
why did the 47 games get denied? what was it missing
Alyjha Williams
im looking forward to seeing the time with the chicken balloon
Zach Neal
LMFAAOOO!!! I love the kid in the back doing the chicken one!
Tim Elias
nevermind. at first glance I thought I saw one. sorry bout that.
Dan Rollman
Tim What is the pattern you're seeing?
Tim Elias
watch this closely. there is a pattern with both participants. just saying.
Alex Cunningham
Wow. That makes a lot more sense then. Hehe...
Neil Moallem
Alex, the criteria specifically says that one may not throw any move MORE than twice in a row. Which means me throwing any move 2 times in a row is completely acceptable, but more than 2 is not
Alex Cunningham
Also found instances of two consecutive papers and two consecutive scissors
Alex Cunningham
First two throws, Neil throws scissors twice in a row.
Neil Moallem
You do have somewhat of a point Alex except I don't think I could possibly rehearse 27 throws even if I tried hahaha. I have too much to memorize for my classes to even begin trying to memorize a rock, paper, scissors sequence
Alex Cunningham
Since we are not allowed to throw the same symbol more than once, how exactly is it possible to prove that it wasn't rehearsed? Honestly I could make a case that every attempt has been rehearsed.
Rob Birdsong
Great eye Jeff, we've changed to DENIED.
Jeff P
at :28 sec the person on the left throws scissors 3 times in a row which
Dan Rollman
Neil Astute observation. We are denying this attempt based on a clear throwing pattern throughout.
Alex Cunningham
Peter I have to agree... with that criteria it's impossible to have a tie at all - it'd be easier to rehearse that!
Peter Craig
I almost wonder why there's even criteria to avoid it being rehearsed? There's no real way of knowing... I think it would be dedication for anyone to last 100 rounds, although I think the "may not throw move more than twice in a row" is a strange one. This is going to be tough/impossible to judge with strict criteria...
Alex Cunningham
Yeah this is definitely going to be hard to judge. I have a feeling we're going to see a lot of cheating/rehearsals.
Neil Moallem
ATTENTION STRIDE! These guys are cheating. I watched the video a few times and easily discovered their pattern. The guy on the right will always do what the guy on the left did in the PREVIOUS round. If you watch, every time the guy on the left does rock, the guy on the right will use rock as his NEXT turn. Every time the guy on the left does paper, the guy on the right will use paper as his NEXT turn. This goes for scissors as well. This is rehearsed and is therefor against the rules.
