First of all, I am totally aware of the current series of exchanges and impersonations going on, and do not wish for my lack of input to be construed as weakness. With Phartgate hanging Sword-of-Damocles-like over my head, I have had to censor any remarks that could be taken as likely to provoke anyone (I know what I'm talking about: I have a 5 page definition of "provoke" from the Hearings.) But I would like to thank those who have come to the board's (and my) defense, and who are handling the role of evil guard as well as can be expected.
To lighten things up, as well as to give all of you some food for thought over the weekend, I have provided a Brain Teaser below. Answer posted on Monday, if I remember.

Not all of you will be familiar with an RPS variation called "Three Way". This game is played just as regular RPS, but with 3 players. Each player keeps a tally of wins vs BOTH opponents. At the end of 3 throws, the player with the most wins is the winner. If there is a tie, another round is played among the tying parties.
Roshambollah, Custardchuk and Arbiter sit down to play some Three Way. Each makes three throws. The following observations are noted during play:
Roshambollah did not throw any Paper.
One player used a Trible Gambit.
Roshambollah beat Custardchuk in Round 2.
In Round 3, two players used the same throw.
In Round 2, two players used a copycat strategy against each other, using the same throw the other had thrown in Round 1.
Custardchuk led with Rock.
Arbiter threw paper in Round 3.
Custardchuk's second throw would have beat Arbiter's first throw.
Given that information, who won the Three Way Match?
