What is "rock-paper-scissors"?
Rock-paper-scissors is a simple hand game usually played between two people. Each player simultaneously forms one of three shapes with their hand: rock, which is a fist, paper, which is an open hand, or scissors, which is a fist with the index and middle fingers extended. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. If both players choose the same shape, the game is a tie.
