Kata: Unconditional rock, paper, scissors in Ruby

Yesterday Álvaro García (@alvarobiz) and I paired working on a possible solution to the Unconditional rock, paper, scissors kata that I facilitated in the recent SCBCN14 event.

You can check the code in this GitHub repository.

As usual it was a pleasure to do pair programming with Álvaro.
