How random can you be?

I wrote a quick and dirty Python script that outputs a string of guesses that will beat the guesser. It keeps track of the 5-gram counters and always opts for the less-used option. If there is no less-used option it picks a random direction.

For instance, if you input RLLRRLLLLRLLRRRLLRLLLLLLRRLRLRLLLRRRRLRRRRRRLLLRLRLRRLRRLLRRLLLRRLRRLRLLRLRRRLRLRLLLRLLRLLLLLRLRLRRR it only guesses right 34% of the time.

You input length is 101.

If you "play" for a long time, eventually, all 64 6-grams will have occurred.
