Whoever takes rock. Rock always wins. Rock crushes scissors and flies right through paper. Kramer told me.

It would be a tie, as it would between any two mathematically smart people.
Einstein would more surely play correctly than Newton, as probability wasn't well understood in Newton's day. But the game is so easy that I doubt either would have any difficulty.
(If you play the strategy of picking your choice at random, you force the game to be a tie. Since the other player also has that strategy available, there's no way to do better.)
But maybe I'm biased in calling this easy, since my Ph.D. is in game theory. ;)

Isaac Newton.
Einstein would have been trying to figure out a general solution for the different types of forces..

Tough one...with just one go at it then it's up in the air...but a best out of 10 competition I would go for Einstein
