There is a secret in this mini-game. The guard knows him. But you have the advantage of the first move. Lose 3 times in a row and then you will know the secret.
even weirder on relaunch I won 3 games in a row. I know last launch when I started with 2 they went 2 as well, almost always matching my first move.
This time everytime I selected 2 he picked 3, similar to the game I won in .9a at least I beat it without losing haha, darn perfectionist ego XD
:D
