const them = round[0] - 'A';

// Now the points per result is easy
// {0,1,2} * 3 == {0,3,6}
// which is what we want.
const resultPoints = result * 3;
// Now this is a bit more complex.
// We need some kind of operation that
// returns us this:
//
// them (0,1,2)
// die(0) {2,0,1} {3,1,2}
// tie(1) {0,1,2} -+1-> {1,2,3}
// win(2) {1,2,0} {2,3,1}
//
// ex.: if they do rock (0)
// and I die (0)
// I have to choose scissors (2)
// which gives me 3 points (2+1)
//
// We notice that 'them + result' gives:
//
// them (0,1,2)
// die(0) {0,1,2}
// tie(1) {1,2,3}
// win(2) {2,3,4}
//
// If we wrap the results with '(them + result)%3'
// and then shift it by adding before wrapping
// '(them + result + 2)%3':
//
// them (0,1,2)
// die(0) {0,1,2} {2,0,1}
// tie(1) {1,2,0} -+2-> {0,1,2}
// win(2) {2,0,1} {1,2,0}
//
// Now it's just a matter of adding one to that
