"Rock, scissors and cloth", as a kind of guessing boxing, has been recorded in China for a long time. "The Whole Tang Poetry" recorded the poem "Waving Orders" and vividly described similar games with metaphors. According to the book Five Miscellaneous Groups written by Ming Metabolism, the tradition of guessing boxing can be traced back to the gesture order in Han Dynasty. Li Rihua's Notes on Liuyanzhai in the Ming Dynasty said: "vulgar drinking, fighting with finger flexion and extension, is called fist throwing, also known as finger throwing." In Ming and Qing novels, there are many records. In the sixty-third chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, it was said, "If you share the wine with others, guessing boxing is better than ditty." The 109th chapter of the Water Margin wrote: "Guessing fists means eating wine at a big bowl price." Zhao Yi, a poet in A Qing, wrote a poem, "Always punching the thumb array and signing riddles". According to the Five Miscellanies written by Ming Metabolism, the tradition of guessing boxing can be traced back to the gesture order of Han Dynasty.

4 Use anecdotes

In many cases, such as "Frisbee Competition" or "University Debate Competition", the rules stipulate that "rock, scissors and cloth" are used to decide which team to start. "Rock, scissors, cloth" also plays a role in determining random results in real-life role-playing games, because "rock, scissors, cloth" does not need any props.
Rock, paper, scissors competitions are occasionally held in different places. In Japan, such competitions often appear in TV variety shows, especially among stars. Stones, scissors and cloth are also used in advertisements to win the audience to participate in the game. Since 2002, the International Scissors and Cloth Association has formulated a series of international competition rules, held international world championships every year, and held many regional and national activities all the year round.
In order to win the game, the players summed up many interesting strategies. The most famous one is the "scissors strategy", a successful case: in 2005, this strategy won Christie's auction house a transaction worth10 million pounds. That year, a Japanese art collector wanted to auction an impressionist painting, and both Christie's and rival Sotheby's wanted to win the auction right of this masterpiece. This puts Japanese collectors in a dilemma. Finally, he came up with a coup-let the two auction houses decide the outcome by playing with scissors, stone and cloth. Christie's auction house asked the staff for advice. Later, they accepted the advice of a director 1 1 year-old daughter and chose scissors. The little girl has always loved this kind of game. She explained seriously, "Because everyone thought you would throw stones." As the little girl expected, Sotheby's really thought that Christie wanted to produce stones, so she chose to produce cloth. Unexpectedly, Christie was better at chess and gave scissors, so Sotheby's reluctantly withdrew from the competition.
5 psychological analysis
edit
Rock, paper, scissors can also tell a person's character.
Like "stone"-strong adaptability; Aggressive.
Like "cloth clothes"-controlling, rewarding, and often easy to get wealth.
Like scissors-insecure
"Rock paper scissors" is actually a psychological game, especially when punching for the first time, which has a lot to do with psychological character. Everyone has a preference for punching in. People who like to throw "stones" usually have aggressive and challenging habits. People who send "cloth" have a strong desire for control and are generally leaders. Scissors are destructive, which shows that this person has no sense of security and a strong sense of self-protection.
In addition, some psychological analysis shows that people are most relaxed when distributing and most nervous when throwing stones. Because of the fierce competition in the game, people are often nervous, so the probability of throwing stones is high.
6 winning strategy

China
Researchers from Zhejiang University, Zhejiang Gongshang University and Institute of Theoretical Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences published a research report (PDF) on the preprint website, and they found a winning strategy of rock-paper scissors through experiments. The researchers recruited 360 students and divided them into six groups. They were randomly paired to play 300 rounds of rock, scissors and cloth games, and the students who won each round will receive a small amount of RMB reward. By observing the strategies used by students, they found the game strategies used by winners or losers: if you are a loser, you will use the hand that can beat your opponent in the next round; If you win, don't use the original shot in the next round. In other words, if you hit your opponent's scissors with a stone, you can't throw stones in the next round, but throw scissors, because your opponent is likely to give cloth. [ 1]

American popular science writers reveal the winning secret of "rock, paper and scissors";
William poundstone, a well-known American popular science writer, recently suggested that in the game of "rock, paper, scissors", it is best for boys to win the cloth and girls to win the stone. When a multiple-choice question has four options, B is most likely the correct answer; When there are five options, e is most likely the correct answer.
After investigating the male members of the World Scissors, Stones and Cloth Society in Toronto, Canada, Tong found that men often throw stones, followed by cloth, and then scissors when guessing boxing. Stones are the most aggressive choice. Men often throw stones when they are angry.
Poundstone pointed out that if it is a game, most boys will throw stones, while girls love scissors. If you advise your opponent to punch quickly and not think too much before guessing, then the forced male opponent will usually throw stones.
"Rebellious psychology" is also a decisive move in guessing boxing. You can tell each other what you want to do first, and then you can easily win as long as you do what you say. Because most people will think that the first answer to shout out is bluffing, which is definitely different from shouting out. [2]
