How to Win At Rock, Scissors, Paper

Perhaps the world's best-known form of diplomacy, Rock, Scissors, Paper is to hand based games what Coca Cola is to fizzy drinks. In Burma they call it General, Gun, Surrender; all over Korea you'll see kids gai-bai-boing their way up staircases; Mongolians play a complex version involving finger hierarchies; the Japanese have even developed regional variations.

Note to self: never start with paper, especially when drunk.
