WK2 - Research

Rock, Paper, Scissors
Basic Rules:
Rock, Paper, Scissors is played with only two people at a time.  Both of these players can pick from three different choices.  Obviously those choices are going to be rock, paper, or scissors.  Whenever each play selects their choice, both players shake their fists three times followed by "Rock paper scissors shoot!"  To decide who is the victor, you can refer to the graphic I posted below showing which option beats which:

After both players throw down their choice, there is either a tie or a winner is immediately decided.  Not skill is usually involved (unless you psychologically know what your opponent is thinking [which isn't usually the case]).  Sometimes people like to play the best out of three games, to try and redeem themselves if they lose the first round.

  1. You should explain how rock is the best choice.

  2. There is no statistical evidence to backup the claim that the rock is best.

  3. I don't think it is necessary to say that there is no skill involved, I think that can be assumed. Also, I do not think that saying rock is the best is a legitimate claim and may be unnecessary. It could potentially throw off anybody who has never played before.
