Can someone please explain the whole point of rock, paper, scissors????

Question

What is the point of this game?? How do you determine who is a winner at this??? AND FOR WHAT REASON IS THIS PLAYED?

Answer 1

Selection

If three people want to go home early and only one can then they can play rock, paper, scissors to find out who goes home. It is a fair system to decide who win at a short simple contest.

The old method was to use eni, meni, mini, mo; which is not random and not fair.

The order is:
Rock beats scissors, because scissors can't cut rock.
Scissors beats paper because it can cut paper.
Paper beats rock because it can wrap rock.

Answer 2

I think the point to the game is that nothing is required to play (providing everyone has hands of course) and it's usually not so much a game in itslef but as a way of choosing a person (say to do a task) that's random and by chance. You have three choices a flat hand (paper) a fist (rock) or two fingers (scissors)

Scissors beat paper (scissors can cut paper)
Rock beats scissors (rock smashes scissors)
Paper beats rock (paper covers rock)

The rest are a draw (both have rock/scissors/paper) and you go again

Answer 3

Rock, paper scissors is just like flipping a coin. When two or more people want the same thing, instead of flipping a coin to see who wins, they play RPS.

Scissors cut paper.
Paper covers a rock.
Rock smashes the scissors.

If you both do the same signal, you just repeat it. Most people play best 2 out of 3.

Answer 4

its a game it doesn't need a point as long as people like to play it if you want a point its like a game of luck to choose between one or the other like flipping a coin or something rock beats scissors
scissors beats paper
paper beats rock
if you have paper paper or rock rock or scissors scissors
you go again until theirs a winner

Answer 5

It is commonly played by children who are simply playing a game . For example, whoever cuts/cover the other player wins. Rocks can smash scissors, scissors cut paper and paper covers rock.
