to even the playing field. if rock beats everything then it is a stupid game. if you are unsatisfied with this then change paper to dynamite, dynamite blows up rock but scissors cuts the wick on the dynamite, there you go new game.

I got this from Wikipedia:
Rock, Paper, Scissors is also often used as an example of the mathematical concept of non-transitivity. A transitive relation R is one for which a R b and b R c implies a R c. A reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive relation on a set is known as a partial ordering, from which notions of "greater" and "less" follow. A game option which is "greater" than another is closer to being optimal, but such a notion does not exist in Rock, Paper, Scissors: The relation used to determine which throws defeat which is non-transitive. Rock defeats Scissors, and Scissors defeat Paper, but Rock loses to Paper. In fact, Rock-Paper- Scissors could be called "antitransitive" because if A strictly defeats B, and B strictly defeats C, A necessarily loses against C.

If you put the paper around the rock and put it on fire it makes it much easier to break the rock.
The heating of the rock made by the burning paper makes it less robust.
P.S. Do not try this at home or in your local forrest!

The paper wraps around the rock, so you can't see the rock anymore.

beacuse paper covers rock just like how rock beats scissors cause it breaks it. and how scissors cuts paper. one is always stronger than the other.

Because the paper covers the rock completely hiding it from site making it seem as if it were not there at all. therefor
paper is the last man standing (or so it seems).....
