Default probability of n ties in a race to three (roshambo)
Too lazy to figure this out. I was playing rock, paper scissors with a friend and had an improbable amount of ties. Given that two people randomly pick paper, rock, scissors what is the probability that there will be n ties before someone wins twice? How about n or less?

thanks.
