Wanna guarantee you never have to call for takeout, or wind up being designated driver for the night? Follow this "can't lose" strategy for the ultimate decision method – ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS.
Tip 1. Watch out for those trends. A lot of players often switch to what just beat them. They will most likely throw rock after just being smashed by one on the previous play. Instead, throw paper on the next round for a near certain victory.
Tip 2. Most newbies almost always lead with rock, so open with an easy win by starting with paper.
Tip 3. Players almost never throw the same thing three times in a row. If they throw two papers in a row, toss a rock out there next to take that round.
I already follow a "can't lose" strategy, I don't play. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm a master at this game!
ReplyDeleteI'd rather do eenie meenie miney mo.
ReplyDeleteIt all makes sense! I used to play all the time as a kid, but had no strategy. No wonder I usually lost!
ReplyDeleteActually, MEN are more likely to play rock, I believe woman are more likely to do paper.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!!! This was exactly what I needed (thank you thank you thank you)
ReplyDeleteLOL now everything's coming together
Interesting strat, though I've been using something rather similar to this.
ReplyDeleteI think it's so commonly known that people typically start with rock that one should double bluff and consider starting with scissors. Although if you're wrong you get whooped by rock, better to go for a draw than to lose.
ReplyDeleteThese are all great tips. I'll have to keep these in mine next time I'm involved with a game, I'll be the champion in no time!
ReplyDeleteFinally...... I can win one.
ReplyDeleteI never win this!
ReplyDeleteThat's how Wellington won the Battle of Waterloo, you know.
ReplyDeleteI read this story awhile back and couldn't believe someone put so much thought into such a silly game. LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat to know since this is one of the ways my husband and I settle disagreements in our home.
ReplyDeleteOh hell yeah! knowing this now, I am like a Rock paper scissors pro!! :D
ReplyDeletemostly they throw rock. I already knew this out of observation and yes you were all right with all of those tips :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha....I'll have to remember that. (Though I'm one of the few who actually DO throw three of the same in a row.)
ReplyDeleteSeems like this might be useful for those in politics.
ReplyDeleteYou've been practicing!
ReplyDeleteit's a fun game- win or lose! :D
ReplyDeletethird tip is the best :D thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI remember a computer simulation of this and the AI wins most rounds because it bases its moves on thousands of previously played rounds.
ReplyDeletemy winning strategy is called "mallet". when the other players put out their rock, paper or scissors, i bash their hands down with a mallet.
ReplyDeletewins every time.
I also fancy third tip ;)
