|
|

|
|
*Rock crushes ] |
|
|
*Lizard ] ] |
|
|
*Spock smashes scissors<!-- For source info see Talk: Spock "Smashes" Scissors --> |
|
|
*Scissors ]<!-- Although concerned with a single instance of scissors, dictionaries confirm that 'scissors' is a plural noun so should always carry a plural verb --> lizard |
|
|
*Lizard eats paper |
|
|
*Paper disproves Spock |
|
|
*Spock ] rock |

|
*Rock crushes scissors |
|
|
|
|

There are ten possible pairings of the five gestures; each gesture beats two of the other gestures and is beaten by the remaining two. As with the original rock-paper-scissors game, if two players pick the same gesture, it is a tie. The original rules (rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, paper beats rock) remain the same. |
