what is the best hand to play in rock paper scissors?

Answer 1

It depends on the psychology...the whole point of the game is that, all other things being equal, any hand has a 1/3 chance of winning, a 1/3 chance of losing, and a 1/3 chance of tying.

If you know your opponent likes to play "scissors", for instance, then you are best off playing "rock". There's no single answer.

Answer 2

I'd reccomend a Right handed approch, with Rock being the reccomended choice. This has the advantage of not only blunting Scissors and drawing with Rock to allow a re-match, but in the unlikely event your opposition chooses Paper (haha) the Rock symbol is a ready made weapon to strike the Paper handed cheat.

Answer 3

I think you are asking which is the best choice to use, rock, paper, or scissor... but really I think it depends on the other person. Try to guess what they will throw and play whatever beats it.

Answer 4

I'd say go with paper all the time. Most people start with rock on the first play. I think it's a combination of it being the simplest one to do and confidence thing.

Answer 5

While there is no 'best' hand, as you have an equal chance of winning whatever you play, there is lots of strategy.
