Rock, Paper, Scissors (also known by several other names, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_paper_scissors) is an extremely popular hand game most often played by children. Often, it is used as a method of selection similar to flipping a coin or throwing dice to randomly select a person for some purpose. Of course, this game is not truly random since a skilled player can often recognize and exploit the non-random behavior of an opponent; for instance, if you notice that your opponent chooses Paper most frequently, you may choose Scissors (which beats Paper) most often in an effort to win.
