Assignment 1: The Rules of Rock Paper Scissors.
Assignment 1: Rules of Rock, Paper, Scissors (Draft)
Both players make a fist and face each other. They count
down to zero and then make one of three “symbols” with their hands: a fist
(rock), a flat palm (paper), or a peace sign like gesture (scissors) at exactly
the same time. Then, depending on the symbol they presented, the player either
wins or loses against the other player. The game is often played in three
rounds.
Each symbol can defeat one other symbol and is in turn
defeated by the other of the three symbols. Because of this structure, the only
way a draw can occur is if both players made the same gesture. Rock beats
scissors, which beat paper, which beat rock.
While some strategy is involved, in the end the game is
difficult to strategize around and is more oriented around luck. That is why it
is used as tie breakers in situations where an impartial and perfectly even
contest is needed.
