4.1.10: I have been trying to pick what s/he picked the time before; unless that choice would be the 6th time s/he picked it.
4.1.20: I've been trying to make my decision based off of what my opponent will try to do to maximize his return. In 1 case this lead to the pattern or my picking 1 2 3 4 1, so i assumed he would figure that i would pick 2 (I had shown a pattern earlier of picking what he previously picked, so i presumed he thought i was a pattern player). With that in mind i looked at what his payoffs would be for my picking 2 and worked off of that. That was a heck of a long run-on sentence!
4.1.30: i was going high for a while, thinking he would expect me to change since there was a consistent payoff. I held 1 turn too long, and now i seem to be paying for it. Last turn i too predictably expected he to protect against my going high by protecting low. S/He saw it and reversed me. <sigh>
4.1.41: Dostoyevsky had a unusual idea of free will. He thought that since society expresses so much influence on an individuals decision making process, that free will must be impossible if society (and Logic) play a role in decision-making. Therefore, i made the last decision with free will---in a crazy manner! Woo-Hoo! Let's hear it for random.
--------------------
4.2.10: well, I figured he knew I hadn't picked row 1 yet, so I was about due. So I didn't pick row 1.
4.2.20: I don't know, I figured my opponent ws going to pick either 1 or 3, so I picked mine accordingly
4.2.30: well, I didn't think he would think that I'd go back to the 2, but I guess he did
4.2.41: well, I like to change it up a bit
--------------------
4.3.10: I was gambling that my opponent would not choose the same column as the last time. It seemed that they would change their choice because they thought I would change mine because I lost.
4.3.20: I looked at my opponent's previous record, and saw that it was probable that she would either choose 3 and possibly 1 or 2, so I chose a row that would make them lose.
4.3.30: I chose 1 since it appeared that my opponent doubted whether I would choose it. . .they probably knew I would use it soon, which might have put doubt in their minds as to what I would choose in this round. The plan backfired as they simply changed their pattern.
4.3.41: It looked like my opponent always had a propensity to go back to 3 every now and then, but more recently they had gone more to 1 and 2. So, I chose the option which allowed me to win if they chose 1 or 3.
--------------------
4.4.10: I looked at my oppoments last choices and decided where I thought that he would move, judging from where he hadn't gone in awhile, and then I moved accordingly.
4.4.20: At first I thought that hewas going to go to col. 3 or 4 and then I thought that he might stay at col 2 because he had already been there for so long, so I took the best of both and went to the row that held me if he decided to go either col 4 or to stay at col 2.
4.4.30: I remember thinking that he was going to go back either to col 3 or col 1 so I chose accordingly...he hadn't gone to 3 in awhile so that's why I though that and he likes to alternate between two numbers for periods of time which is why I thought he might go back to 1.
4.4.41: I remember thinking that he was going to go back to 3 but I don't even remember what I chose ...
--------------------
4.5.10: I clicked opponent's choice for the eighth round and it said 1, which I thought meant row 1, and my column 4 would make me a winner with row one, but the strategy didn't work. I thought there was a loophole in the game where if you just waited for the opponent to make his choice, you could then see his choice and always profit. WRONG.
4.5.20: The thought occurred to me that I have a 50/50 chance of winning so for the past four or five rounds I've been just picking random columns with no real purpose, but I've been consistently losing. I have lost the past four out of five and the odds of flipping a coin 5 times and getting heads only once is 5/32...one in 6. Maybe I should try another approach. After all, I am poor and I'd like to make some money...come on no Whammys....STOP!
4.5.30: "Mama always said, Stupid is as Stupid Does"Pure and Sheer luck...I've got the luck of the Irish with me today. I have me lucky green coat and I ate me lucky Charms today. I can feel the money, can you? :)
4.5.41: Arrr MatiE! A pirate never tells his gambling secrets. He always keeps them close to his pocketwatch so he can keep a track of the time!
--------------------
4.6.10: I had not used the number one in a while, so I figured that maybe I should use it...
4.6.20: Well, I have been keeping up with my opponent's choices, and I make note of the numbers that occur most frequently and those that do not. I then try to coordinate my choices to maximize my gain.
4.6.30: I noticed a pattern where my opponent kept choosing either 2 or 3, and I also noted that these numbers were being chosen frequently in a row, so I made my decision accordingly...
4.6.41: I saw that my opponent's number choices seemed to become randomized, so I tried as best as I could to anticipate his/her next choice...
--------------------
4.7.10: The opponent had picked 3 repeatedly so that I wanted to cover the possibility that they would select it again. Moreover, then it became a 50-50 shot as to which to pick if they changed this time. I thought they would go towards clusters as they had gone towards the spread before.
4.7.20: Well having figured out that I didn't know how to read the info, I have since discovered this little skill. Therefore, I have changed my strategy and I believe I have switched from an offensive to a defensive tone, so I am trying to guess what I think they are thinking I will guess and minimize the damages.
4.7.30:
4.7.41: I shot out a few test cases to see her reaction. She seemed to be playing safe, not sure when I would switch back from side to side. Therefore, I think it became a guessing game. So I was just trying to guess right.
--------------------
4.8.10:
4.8.20: First I started the game by trial and error and see which one the opponent like to choose. Then I counteract the opponent's choice by anticipating what the opponent will choose. I first look at the previous opponent's choice and they are the ones that are unlikely to be picked again, so I will pick those choices that are left for the opponent to choose. Usually it works,unless the opponent choose the samething for more than three times, then it's hard to predict.
4.8.30: I look at the list of opponent choice and see what combination of number make the opponent win, then I will avoid that specific choice and make one that is opposite of this combination.
4.8.41: My logic is if the opponent wins then the opponent is likely to choose that combination of number again. If a certain choice make the opponent win several times then the opponent is likely to use it again. If I go against logic and do something totally irrational once in a while then I can mess up the confidence and reason of the opponent, thus i win.
--------------------
4.1.10: I made my choice based upon my opponent's last few choices. I thought he migth choose column three again.
4.1.20: I randomly clicked a row and hoped for the best.
4.1.30: I randomly clicked a row.
4.1.41: I picked the row randomly, as I have been doing.
--------------------
4.2.10: My "opponent" seems to be playing a random strategy, and hasn't used column 1 nor 3 for a few rounds, so I picked the row that would pay off if he/she picked column 1 or column 3.
4.2.20: My opponent seems to have come up with a strategy now, and I'm basically playing a game of rock, paper, scissors. He had me 6 times in a row, so I threw him a "curve", then I'm just trying to play what I think will win against what I think he will play.
4.2.30: Just playing a game of cat and mouse still, with no recognizable pattern. The option that I want to play is not available, so I have to pick my second best option.
4.2.41: My opponent seemed to pick up a cycling pattern, where he used each number 1 time every 4 rounds. Every time that he deviated from this pattern, he beat me, but more often than not, he kept to it. I made my selections on the number he hadn't used in 4 rounds, and then using my second guess as the determining factor on which of the two rows to actually use.
--------------------
4.3.10: opponent might be thinking that i had not used that last column in a while
4.3.20: i hadn't picked that number in a while and i was hoping to throw the opponent off.
4.3.30: number that i hadn't picked in a while and a number that opponent hadn't really picked in a while
4.3.41: hoping that opponent would stay in an alternating strategy
--------------------
4.4.10: History of opponents choices, probability of his next choice
4.4.20: Other's expectations of me based on my history
4.4.30: using his expectations of me
4.4.41: Random
--------------------
4.5.10: I figured that if my partner was choosing the first two rows the most often, then I would choose my colmns where they wouldn't earn anything which were 3 and 4.
4.5.20: My partner was choosing the same rows for a while so I chose the corresponding columns that gave them 0.
4.5.30: I looked at what rows the person was choosing and winning with. Then I tried to pick the corresponding columns that would make them lose, without leaving a pattern of my own.
4.5.41: Again, I observed with which rows my partner was winning with, and those that they used the most and chose the corresponding rows that made them less money.
--------------------
4.6.10: The past 4 choices have been 3,3,1,1, then he or she made a choice of 4, so I thought she would make another choice of 4.
4.6.20: I am trying to set up a pattern, so my partner notices some sort of pattern. Then Ill mix it up a little, trying to get him to guess a row according to my pattern, and have him be wrong.
4.6.30: Last one was random. Ive been setting my partner up, at least I think so, taking risks to lose so my partner thinks Im predictable
4.6.41: Trying to make that "pseudo pattern" Getting my partner to guess what my pattern is. The last one I saw that my pattern showed that I pick column4(ithink) so i saw that the benefits for my partner for picking column 4, and saw that if I pick the other choices to benefit me, I have a better chance of winning.
--------------------
4.1.10: I tried to look at my opponent's patterns and where may payoffs were. I looked for underrepresented choices in his pattern like 1.
4.1.20: My opponent had once used three choices earlier in the game. He had just picked two 1's so i thought he would do it again. Thus, I picked thinking my opponent would pick 1.
4.1.30: My opponent is so random that i have no idea what to do. I picked 2 again to keep him off balance
4.1.41: I figured he would pick a lower number (1,2) so i chose 1
--------------------
4.2.10: I made the same choice for three consecutive turns and lost, so I decided to change up and guess something else.
4.2.20: Random guessing.
4.2.30: I attempted to monitor my opponent's choices and I tried to tailor my guesses in a fashion that would throw my opponent off.
4.2.41: I followed my opponent's patterns of repetition.
--------------------
4.3.10: I had picked 4 for a while and I decided to pick 2 to change the routine.
4.3.20: I think my opponent has a pattern and I'm trying to figure it out.
4.3.30: My opponent picks a lot of even numbers.
4.3.41: Totally random.
--------------------
4.4.10: I made the last choice because the previous two times that # had given me $2. I thought I was on a winning streak, so I decided to ride it out as long as possible.
4.4.20: I made that decision based on the fact that I don't want my choices to appear in any sort of order or pattern. If I really make it hard for my opponent to guess what number I will choose, then I suppose my chances for money are good.
4.4.30: I keep trying to make my selections random. It's nice that my opponent gets his decisions done quickly; that way I don't have too much time to dwell on my next move. Too much time might make me try to strategize, which would really only confuse me!
4.4.41: The whole time I was assuming that I was playing only one opponent during the entire game, but since the graduate student just told us that we all finished simultaneously, then I suspect that we were playing different opponents from round to round. Now I'm looking forward to some $$ so I can buy stuff.
--------------------
4.5.10: Randomizing, to keep the opponent off guard
4.5.20: I was trying to establish a reputation for playing 2. Just to see what opponent did. Then I noticed opponent hadn't played 3 in a while and so went for 3 to raise my odds of winning, believing she'd forgotten about 3.
4.5.30: I was putting myself in the "head" of the opponent. I know there is an urge to change choice after a loss, so I counted on the same choice in the last period not being made, in order to improve the chances of my winning.
4.5.41: I was looking only at the last 5 or 6 choices of the opponent. I could tell they were running scared-- switching from choices that weren't working. I guessed that they would be more likely not to stick to a choice that lost in the previous round as the final round drew nearer. Psyched them out.
--------------------
4.6.10:
4.6.20: My opponent seems to choose strategies 2 and 4 the most, so I tried to choose a strategy that I could profit from given the likelihood that my opponent would choose 2 or 4.
4.6.30: My opponent had a recent history of either choosing 2 or 4, so I chose 1 because I could benefit if my opponent chose either 2 or 4.
4.6.41: I made my last decision based on the fact that my opponent was going to pick a row based on what I had previously picked.
--------------------
4.1.10: My opponent seemed to prefer using choice 3, so I assumed that his/her last choice would be different from that.
4.1.20: My opponent still seems to "like" option 3, and after he uses it twice in succesion, he went to either 1 or 2, therefore, I took the course of action that countered his past examples.
4.1.30: I looked at how my opponent has been reacting to my choices... he/she seems to follow a pattern.
4.1.41: Towards the end, my opponent stopped his/her pattern, and took on a more random choice selection. Still, he/she followed a certain pattern in the succeding choices.
--------------------
4.2.10: I assumed that my opponent would play the same column they had just played or the one next to it. Either one would have gotten me $2.
4.2.20: I assumed that the other player would assume that I would play the four continually since I did that with the one. But, I decided it was best to break the pattern so I picked a number that was most different from the four (or at least I think I did) and I guess it worked.
4.2.30: I figured that my opponent would assume that I would choose one since I hadn't chosen it in a LONG time! But...I decided I would hold off before choosing one for this reason.
4.2.41: I figured I hadn't chosen three in a long time, plus I was thinking that he might choose column 1 since he hadn't chosen it in a long time.
--------------------
4.3.10: I chose randomly chose row 2
4.3.20: my opponent seemed to like chosing 3 and 4. row number 4 always gave 42 with those combinations.
4.3.30: my opponent had started randomly chosing column numbers. i did not kjnow what would be chosen next so i just chose row #2.
4.3.41: my opponent seemed to be randomly chosing the columns, so i had to randomly chose row numbers.
--------------------
4.4.10: My last choice was based upon my expectation of what the other person would choose using my previous choices. Then I used this info with the choices that the other person previously made
4.4.20: A Simple guess. I looked at my history and decided to do something unexpected.
4.4.30: I decided to look at my history and choose something I havent chosen in awhile.
4.4.41: I decided to pick one that I havent chosen in awhile.
--------------------
4.5.10: I looked at what my opponent had previously entered. Taking this into consideration, I viewed my chances of obtaining a '2' by comparing the different rows and columns. I tried to establish a pattern of what my opponent tended to choose.
4.5.20: I looked at the plays my opponent had made in the last few times, and decided to look at my chances of winning in comparison to what he/she had entered previously.
4.5.30: I looked at my opponent's choices and compared them to the choices that I had just made recently. I compared the pattern of numbers that he/she chose with the ones I chose.
4.5.41: I chose the same strategy that I played last time. I took a close look at what my opponent had played in previous turns.
--------------------
4.6.10: I thought my opponent was going to choose 2 because he hadn't in a while, and so I chose 3 because it would win for me.
4.6.20: I like the number 3.
4.6.30: I have been playing reactively while, I believe, my opponent is playing proactively. However, I am now simply going to randomly select numbers as I do not know what my opponent is thinking.
4.6.41: It was the final number in a code to my friend's apartment building, and since I had used the first three numbers, I figured I should use the last one, too.
--------------------
4.7.10: the other player used 1 the most.
4.7.20: in the beginning, the person continued to pick 2 as he or she picked 1 consecutively in the first round. after that, i just tried to assess what the other person thought i'd pick
4.7.30: i repeated column 2 because i attempted to convince the other player that i was stuck on it. then, knowing that the opponent would figure out that i'd probably move, i picked a column other than 2 that would benefit me.
4.7.41: i picked random places in the beginning. neither of us were all that great at guess, so i just stopped, and started to pick various numbers.
--------------------
4.8.10: I looked at my opponent's choices and thought of what row I would pick if I were them. Then I looked at my previous choices and thought of what my opponent thought I would pick. Using this combination of choices, I picked the column that would most likely give my return.
4.8.20: I thought of what my opponent thinks I am going to pick, and tried to pick the columns that would give me return according to my hypothesizd choice for my opponent and vice versa.
4.8.30: The last choice was made by thinking what my opponent thought I would choose, and choosing another strategy. In the previous round, I focused more on what I thought my opponent would choose and less on what I thought my opponent thought I would choose. That overall strategy did not work as well as the other strategies.
4.8.41: I chose the opposite strategy that I thought my opponent thought I would choose. The last strategy I choose was made hastily, and not using the full strategies I had previously employed.
--------------------
5.1.10: Basically, it was the fact that the last time that i had selected this choice, i was paid
5.1.20: there is a pattern that my opponent is using, by cracking that pattern, my sucess rate is going up...while not perfect, i think that i am getting the idea
5.1.30:
5.1.41: I was trying to figure out what my opponent was doing and decided that she was trying to second guess me, so i mad the choice that seemed the most unexpected
--------------------
5.2.10: Row 3 was the only row that had given me a playoff before so I used it again to see if it would give me more payoffs.
5.2.20: My last choice didn't work the period before the way I thought it would so I tried it again.
5.2.30: I just kept trying a certain row until it gave me a payoff.
5.2.41: no Reason
--------------------
5.3.10: I noticed that using row 1 I was making a payoff, while using other rows my payoff was not good, so I continued using row1
5.3.20: I had just recieved a payoff using row 1, so I used it again.
5.3.30: My opponent was alternating between 2 and 3 so I began alternating between 3 and 4.
5.3.41:
--------------------
5.4.10: I made my last choice by evaluating the previous choices and payoffs. I saw in the recent history that I had lost with the first, third and fourth rows and so selected the second row. The payoff was higher there than in the other cases because I believed that the other person had been playing colunm 1.
5.4.20: I made my last choice by studying the payoff in the last game. When I won the previous game I knew thta my opponent had to have played certain columns. Based on that information I then guessed what I should play thinking that my opponent would switch columns.
5.4.30: I used the idea to copy the move of my opponent. Thus by playing what she had played the previous round I would win.
5.4.41: I decided to keep playing the same row because my previous turns had gone so poorly. I figured that this would be at least as good as any other strategy that had been failing in the previous rounds. The use of my opponents information was not helping me in my decision.
--------------------
5.5.10: I chose it since in the past, it proved to give me a payoff.
5.5.20: It seemed that the other player picked the even numbered rows more.
5.5.30: For my last chance I basically left it at chance. It seems when I try to think as my opponent, I usually have no payoff. Before, I noticed that my opponent picked rows 1 and 3 the most so I tried to offset him by picking columns that would favor me and not him/her.
5.5.41:
--------------------
5.6.10: in the beginning i always sticked to the same one, but then i always changed in a certain order.
5.6.20: in the first half i figured out what combination comes after the other, but after 4 choices, i could not continue with this strategy and didn't know how to decide now and just guessed.
5.6.30: i realized that two rows fit together when the 2s and 0s don't overlap in those two rows, so i tryed to figure out what row my opponent would choose and i'd choose the opposit one.
5.6.41: i again tried to figure out what my opponent would choose, but this time the numbers in my opinion could overlap, and i mostly just chose the number my opponent chose last turn to get a certain order in it.
--------------------
5.7.10: Previous to the last choice I had chosen Column two three times in a row, hoping that once the other player won on that column he or she would choose a different row. However, when that player kept picking either 1 or 2, I decided to switch to Column three, where the layout was the exact opposite, hoping that my hypothesis that the other player was either staying on or switching between one and two was correct. I think it was.
5.7.20: I am trying out a theory that the other player may be playing his or her columns that are 0-2-0-2 in alternation. I cannot tell if this is true yet.
5.7.30: I'm just looking at the opponents history of choices and trying to make an educated guess as to what he or she will pick. I noticed they hadn't used three in a while, so I picked a column that did not have a payoff for me in three
5.7.41: BY now I had realized that he was only playing 1 and 4 because they're was no column I could pick that would cover both of them, so it was just a matter of guessing how long he would stay on one or the other. Even though he kept losing by choosing row 1 I thought he might keep trying figuring I would eventually not want to test my luck any more
--------------------
5.8.10: I followed the same pattern each time, going backward from 4 to 1.
5.8.20: since I saw that my pattern was not working as well any more, I changed, and my choice was completly ramdom. I have no clue about what is going on.
5.8.30: First i tried to anticipate whatever pattern my opponent was following, but any attempt on my part to counter act his action was not fruitful. So I finally opted for random choice.
5.8.41: complete randomness was always my best guest. I also tried to alternate a little, not to play always the numbers, so that my opponent could not find any pattern in my choices.
--------------------
5.1.10: I thought that possibly alternating between 1 and 3 would maximize the amt. of $ I made. I thought that might be a pattern, but it turned out not to be. Previous to that I was just choosing randomly.
5.1.20: My last choice was again random. This is because I had made money on the last couple of choices and I took a guess on 2. I'm trying to find a pattern in every four choices I make.
5.1.30: Every time i choose 4 or 1 I seem to make money. In addition, whenever my opponent and i make the same choice I make money.
5.1.41: Honestly, I didn't see a clear pattern or method for the choices and payoffs. So i decided to continue to pick between 1 and 4, which didn't seem to be picked too often by my opponent and which also seemed to give me a consistent payoff. This was true until the end, when my opponent picked 4s and I wasn't getting a payoff anymore.
--------------------
5.2.10: Honestly,i felt the answer.i hadn't used it in a while.it felt right(some type of pattern).
5.2.20: same situation as last time, i felt the number, i f elt as though i havn't used the number in a while, so i chose the number. it seems there is an organization being made in my thought process.
5.2.30: i thought that an odd number would be the right choice considering even numbers mostly the right answer for a while,but i guess not.
5.2.41: it seems to be following a 22421 sort of a pattern,so i chose one of the numbers.the three doesn't seem to be used and i used two before
--------------------
5.3.10: I went through the numbers from 4 to 1 and picked randomly the first time, but the second time i picked the number in sequential order (like i picked 3 then 4 then 1 then 3)but it didn't work this time :(
5.3.20: I have been picking the opposite formation in the square for every other choice. I will look at the square and determine what is the opposite from not my last choice, but from the one before that.
5.3.30: I just randomly guessed because nothing has been working...
5.3.41: I picked 4 because it would hopefully beat my opponent.
--------------------
5.4.10: Every other time that I chose choice 4, my payoff was $2. The other choices were inconsistant with payment, but until the last round, 4 always brought payments.
5.4.20: I had eight payoffs in a row with strategy 2. When 2 finally gave me a 0, i chose strategy 4 because it was a consistent payoff earlier in the game.
5.4.30: My opponent seems to have a strategy, or at least a pattern to the numbers that he or she chooses. i'm trying to figure it out and guess accordingly.
5.4.41: My opponent's pattern seemed to be focused on choosing either 1 or 2. If he or she were to follow that pattern again, my best choice is strategy 1 because it guarantees a payoff for either 1 or 2.
--------------------
5.5.10: I pretty much guessed randomly, keeping in mind that colomun 1 and 2 were the only colomuns that gave me a payoff and 2 had just given me $0.
5.5.20: I hadn't chosen colomun 4 in awhile, so I did!
5.5.30: Because I thought my opponent would choose row 1,3, or 4. So my choice gave my the best chance of getting a $2 payoff.
5.5.41: Because I thought my opponent would choose row 4, so I chose a row that would then give me a payoff.
--------------------
5.6.10: I started to notice that the pattern was going 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 so I just followed this pattern through the rest of the game.
5.6.20: I had absolutely no clue what I was doing in that round. I tried to look at the possible rows that were chosen when I actually won to see if there was a pattern to the rows, but I didn't really figure anything out.
5.6.30: in knowing the opponent's last choice, this was just a guessing game as to what the other person was going to do and not thinking of it as a math game. I looked at whether or not they changed their strategy after they won or lost and then made my move depending on that.
5.6.41: this time again was just trying to guess what the other person was doing, although you can find better odds if you know they might go with an odd number or an even number by looking at which column has two 2's in the odd rows or even rows

5.8.10: Rendom selection
5.8.20: choose (1 or 2) or (3 or 4) until they give good results.
5.8.30: rendom selection
5.8.41: Tried to use information from the priveous results.
--------------------
5.1.10: The only times that I earned $2 was when I had chosen row 2, thus I tried it again. I haven't had any payoff on the other rows.
5.1.20: I was having the best luck with row 1, figuring if the other person chose columns 1 and 2, I would have a positive payoff. I'm still trying to find a pattern to the other person's choosing.
5.1.30: I've been trying to understand what the other person's strategy is, and being able to see the choices makes it easier, but I can't see a definite pattern. I'm trying to anticipate their next move by studying what they chose, and in what order, in the past.
5.1.41: I attempted to understand my opponent's pattern of choice, and when I discovered that it was not possible, I looked at both my previous choices and my opponent's. I figured that there may be some pattern for the last few choices, and looked to see if there was a pattern to my choices that my opponent would try to use to guess my choice.
--------------------
5.2.10: I looked at that the other person would probably look at getting the most and because in colummn 3 and 4 the # 2 is in the top, it was more probable that they would pick that number
5.2.20: I looked at what the column player had been choosing and tried to pick a row that he had not picked yet assuming that most of the time he would pick a different column each time
5.2.30: The opponent had picked one and three just before . I didn't think he would pick either one again right afterwards and so I picked two, in which case I would win if he picked either two or four
5.2.41: I tried to predict what the opponent thought I would do--I saw a pattern that he/she tried to make a choice that would account for me to keep the same choice or make another one, so I looked at what that would be and chose my answer accordingly.
--------------------
5.3.10: I don't know of any stategy yet. I'm only picking columns at random. I just guess to see what the opponent will choose.
5.3.20: In order to make my last choice, I used the information from the chart to the right to see whether or not any pattern is developing. I still can't find a pattern if there is one. I'm still not sure exactly how you are supposed to be able to prdict the other's choice.
5.3.30: On the Opponent Choice column, i noticed the the other person was making a lot of choices twice or three tiimes in a row. I thought he would do so again by choosing number 4 again. However, i was wrong. Now I don't think that the other player is using any pattern whatsoever.
5.3.41: Well, i just decided to pick whatever number came up in my mind. I reasoned that if i have no stategy, then there is no way that my opponent can win with stategy. I really don't understand the reason for this experiment. There is no true way of predicting the other person's choice.
--------------------
5.4.10: I thought then other person was trying for one of the last two columns the previous four or five times (when i won). I looked at the other two columns now to see how I could win.
5.4.20: I looked back at the previous couple selections to find out what the other person did when he or she was right. I noticed that the other person probably switched their choices in this situation so I tried to pick a choice where the player had changed to.
5.4.30: I was thinking completely too much before. Obviously, the other person was outsmarting me a lot more than I was him or her. The last four times, I just completely clicked on numbers at random (clicked the mouse about five or six times and went with whatever number came up). Sooner or later, I probably go back to trying to figure out moves.
5.4.41: I was choosing between 2 and 3. I chose 3 the last two times, so I figured I would switch itn up to 2.
--------------------
5.5.10: I had continued to make one choice...and played that choice three times in a row (3)...and then I switched on them and chose 2
5.5.20: I found that my opponant was most likely to pick something from rows 1 and 2...this I found from the past results. so I kept picking the third column as my choice to receive the payoff
5.5.30: I've been trying to read what my opponant is doing. I got off for a little while, but this time, i decided to stick with the general trend of my opponant. I know that he or she likes to pick from the first two rows, so i picked the third column
5.5.41: I again tried to read what my opponant was doing. Since he or she was tending toward the higher numbers, I figured that he would proabably go low, so I chose my column accordingly
--------------------
5.6.10: I had the columns and basically I thought which rows the other player would most likely choose. I then choose the columns thought would give me the biggest possibility of a bigger profit. The other player ususally choose 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 so there were 2 columns that had a profit of $2 for either 1 and 3 or 2 and 4. I did that back and forth and almost always ended up with $2 profit.
5.6.20: My strategy for last time didn't work as well this time. I kept getting 0$ profit. So I started thinking if the other player kept on losing profit before when he chose the other rows maybe he would start using the other rows more. I started chosing the other columns and I started getting $2 profit again.
5.6.30: Basically I looked at my opponent's choices and saw which rows he regularly choose. I then choose the column that would give me the bigger profit.
5.6.41: I saw which rows that my opponent frequently choose and choose the column that would give me the bigger profit. Usually I checked to see which rows the other player hadn't used in a while and I predicted his/her moves.
--------------------
5.7.10: Two turns before hand I had received $0 because my opponent chose row 3 or 4. The next turn I won again because I knew that the person would again choose thesame row because they won with it. For the next turn I decided that the player would probably move again and since I had thought that the person was on row 3 when they won, I decided to pick column 1 because I couldn't decide whether the person would move up or down, but was pretty sure that they would do one of them.
5.7.20: In the turns before that my opponent was consistently in row 3 or 4 or row 1 or 2, changing every two turns. Knowing that the person would most likely continue this behavior, I chose what I did to keep with their pattern.
5.7.30: Knowing that my opponent would be afraid that I would pick column 4 again, they most likely would have chosen something in row 1 or 3 so I chose column 1.
5.7.41: According to my opponent's previous periods when he/she won, he/she often chose the same row the next period. Therefore, I had to pick a column that incoroprated that row. Also, I thought that in case he/she didn't choose this row again, he/she would more expect me to choose the other column that incorporated that row instead of the one that I chose. I always tried to do the unexpected.
--------------------
5.8.10: i don't know. the other player seemed to choose row 3 frequently. or at least, the player seemed to prefer the bottom two rows. then i started guessing what the other player thought i would pick. i hadn't picked column 2 often and since it would pay if the other player chose row 3, i chose column 2
5.8.20: i thought maybe the other player would think i had chosen a column other than the one i had just chosen (which may or may not be true, b/c there would've been two possiblities that made their payoff possible)i don't really understand why my partner is doing so much better than i am. so i mostly guessed
5.8.30: the other player had just chosen 4 twice. i thought maybe he/she might try to pick 4 again, b/c they would think i wouldn't think they would choose row four again. so i wanted to choose columns 1 or 2. i thought 1 was a better guess, b/c when this person loses, he/she tends to try to get "far away."
5.8.41: because i think this player thought i would think he would(oops. i don't really remember . . .)usually, when this player wins, he/she doesn't stay in the same row. this player only tends to stay when he/she loses. i just tried to pick the one i thought he/she wouldn't think i was picking.
