This is one of the games we usually play. Whenever we have presentations, our teacher asks us to do the Rock Paper Scissors game. The one who looses has to do it first and the one who wins can choose when he wants to do it Anyway this is the one game I usually loose at . Since this is entirely a guess game, i don't know which fingers to throw at the opponent How about you guys?? How often do you play this game?? And how good are you at it??

I ask my children about this game and they laugh at me because when they explained it to me I remember that I knew it! It's just that it was translated in English here.. Hahaha! I am old.

I have never played this game and frankly I do not understand it. It would seem to me that rock would win all the time, so why not do it always?

Well in practical life maybe yes but in this game, paper wins rock. Paper wraps the stone

Lol! I am old now, so I rarely get to play this game. However, in my younger days........ Hehe. =P Anyway, there is no science behind this game. It is a game of chance really. Unless you have some sort of super power wherein you can see things in slow motion and therefore can see your opponents hand as he/she throws it, and then you can make your choice accordingly. =P

I'm usually using paper whenever I play that game cause many people tend to use rock first. I think I have a greater chance of winning using paper but of course that doesn't applied all the time. But I'm really good on playing that.

Rock Scissors Paper is a hand game common to children. While the origins of the game are rather obscure, it is believed it has played for at least 100 years in-game variation. Adults still plays at this time, it's kinda fun actually and it can use to decide who is having that prize or stuff.

I don't play this very often and I am, frankly, rubbish at it! However, there are various strategies (and it can get quite complex). Males tend to throw a rock first (so if you are playing a male, throw paper first). Females tend to throw paper first (so if you are playing a female, throw scissors) The LEAST common throw is scissors (so throwing a rock is more likely to win or draw) One of the most publicised games was one played between two auction houses (Sothebys and Christies) to decide which one would handle millions of dollars worth of business. You can read the story here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock-paper-scissors#Auction_house_rock-paper-scissors_match If you want to read various strategies for winning, there are a lot of pages which have slightly different advice. Two of them are: http://www.wikihow.com/Win-at-Rock%2C-Paper%2C-Scissors and http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/3319456/The-secret-to-winning-at-rock-paper-scissors.html If playing a sequence, it seems that throwing the move which would have beaten your opponents previous move is likely to draw more often than not, because people often unconsciously throw to beat their own previous move.

Hi thatgirl, Gosh I rarely won at this game and to be honest it took me a long time to understand it. I once had a download of this game and the computer beat me all the time. I will be honest and say that whenever I won at it, was simply out of pure luck. Therefore as a child my fate was determine by simply fate as I was only lucky sometimes. lol

A childish game that people have fun doing before making decisions. I really don't car much about my choices. Whenever I do this in just tend to choose what's on my mind first. I do enjoy this though but never applied it in class at all.

Yes I would say it is quite a childish game and I do not really have preferences whether rock .ssissors or paper since like you said it is a guess or random game, but I do say that it did settle some really childish issues when I was young like, who would get what, who would be first to ... etc...

heheh yeah I think it is the easiest game for deciding who gets to do what and stuffs ahahah but it can be really annoying to the one who looses, i.e., me lol thanks for the response and have awonderful day!!

i choose rock, why???? because rocks have sharp edge, not even paper can resist it.... scissors will only dull.... so rocks always win.....

In real life maybe it's true but not in the game. Each of them have equal power which makes the game fun, if not, it wouldn't be the same.
