Natalie Wolchover met with the organizer of the Rock-Paper-Scissor World Championship (no, really, it’s a thing) to find out what strategies you can use to win at the game:

• Inexperienced players have a tendency to play ‘stone’
• If a player has repeated the same move twice, they’re unlikely to do it a third time.
• In pre-game discussions use your hands to subtly gesture the move you want your opponent to play. You should be able to prime them into doing so.
• Announce what move you’re going to play and then…play it. It’ll throw your opponents off.
