"The key to my win was maintaining a clear mind before each throw, and judging each opponent individually," said Mr. Lovering, 2002 International World Rock Paper Scissors Champion...
Who woulda thunk?

I've never known how this game works. What's the deal? Scissors cut paper, rock dulls scissors, whatever... What does this mean? How do you win?
To: Weimdog
Rock, paper, scissors. The guy probably got all three of these weapons of mass destruction at a gunshow. Paging Josh Sugarman, Tom Diaz...

This game should be played with the real objects. I would stand about ten feet from my opponent, and always play the rock.

Next will be the World Championships of calling a coin toss.

This guy will probably become their new defense minister after attaining such a lofty title.

Canada might have been forced to pull back their military from ALL foreign commitments, but at least they have this championship to make them more secure!
They got their priorities set straight all right!

I'm in Canada at the moment, bored out of my mind for something to do, and NOW I realise being bored is a national sport, eh? ;-)
Cote up for a game of cyber Rock-paper-scissors?
Before I either hit myself over the head with a rock, or slash my wrists with a scissors? ;-)
(Canada is fun in the summer, but in winter, it sucks!)

Geez, maybe he can run as Albore's VP in 2004. BTW, didn't al gore invent rock paper scissors?

Around 1980 I wrote a Pascal R-S-P program that you play against. The idea behind the program was to look for patterns in your play, predict your next move, and beat it.
The program, of course, kept score. This was a simple command-line system (pre-graphics on a PDP Unix system) and you could play better than a game a second.
After a few hundred games, the program pretty much got your number and started pulling slowly and inexorably ahead of you.
Unfortunately, that was about twenty computers ago and I fear the source is long lost.
BTW, it's Rock, Scissors, Paper, not Rock, Paper, Scissors. <)B^)

My favourite version of this game is Karate man, the Gorilla and the Gunfighter.
You stand back to back and on the count of three jump and turn in the guise of one of the three.
For those without imagination: Karate man looks like some Bruce Lee pose, Gorilla looks like a gorilla with its arms up in the air and the gunfighter is pointing a 'gun' at you.
Karate man kicks the gun out of the Gunfighter's hand, the Gorilla beats up Karate man, and the Gunfighter shoots the Gorilla.
