There's no long term profit in RoShamBo. The bots are taking over.

I've heard that 40% of people always throw rock on the first hand. So you should throw paper.

Also, you get one "fire" for your entire lifetime. Fire beats everything.

Except "water." You also get one water for your lifetime. Water loses to everything except fire.

Although, I'm not sure if these rules run in any circles other than the Ultimate Frisbee community. It's actually very key there because captains will often rosham for sides, possession, etc.

Four years at Michigan and then finished up with the 5th year at Johns Hopkins as a grad student.

What team do you play for?
