Although, if my calculations are correct, it doesn't matter what that player throws... a certain player wins in each instance.

Ok, I know my last throw. That leaves 3^10 possible end results. rekrap has stated that the final result, by which I take it he means the top result, is not impacted by one of the player's throws. That limits the search space to approximately 10^4 possibilities. Running those against a historical regression based on previous games, I figure it's probably Brauncoot we're waiting on.

I'm thinking that it's Pintsize that has this game covered. See what I did there for "paper"?

I'm not going to show all 3 scenarios, and the missing player had thrown 2 Rocks, 2 Scissors, 1 Paper,... and so now, 2 Papers.
Code:
 Round 6			
	         Throw	     Pts	    Total
thing              	P	7	33
Browncoat          	P	7	29
DyalDragon         	R	-4	25
actuary_aspire     	P	7	24
1695814            	R	-4	23
Vorian Atreides    	P	7	21
Inspector Spacetime	P	7	20
Ultimate Anyone?   	P	7	20
Doctor Who         	S	8	18
MountainHawk       	R	-4	8
soyleche           	R	-4	6
Congratulations, thing!

Interestly about half the players submitted a set of throws (at some point) and left them. Those players are fairly evenly distributed among the rankings with those who submitted a separate throw each round.
