Rock, paper, scissors - you make the call.

Do a rock, paper, scissors contest thing, and enter your selection.

I played with a kid that introduced dynamite to the game. It would seem that dynamite beats rocks, scissors and paper every time. The game got boring pretty quick.

Picking dynamite would be a good strategy, unless of course picking dynamite meant that you lost your fingers.

**Dartgod** · 06-09-2006, 10:23 AM

Paper.

Did I win?

You should have told him that your paper was a restraining order, that'd beat dynamite...

Bob Dole has always had good success using the Bureaucrat Gambit.

FYI, for those of you who might be a little rusty, there's an online trainer here.

I would crush you with the Tool Box gambit.

Tool box? I thought that it was the Call of Racial Injustice that beat the Bureacrat.

Early indications show that paper is indeed the best strategy, with a 50 percent win rate and only a 9 percent loss rate.

Second is scissors, with a 41 percent win rate, but a 50 percent loss rate.

Third is rock, which would have only a 9 percent win rate and a 41 percent loss rate.

Scissors!

I don't know what it is, but it seems like in my RPS playing, 75% of people pick sciscors first.

Hmm. Maybe we can get a big enough sample to do a demographic and/or geographic breakdown.
