He contacted Christie's and Sotheby's auction houses. In 2005, Takashi Hashiyama decided to auction off a collection of impressionist paintings worth tens of millions of dollars, including works by Cézanne, Picasso, and van Gogh.What Does This All Mean in Terms of Real Life? Closely observe your opponent as he or she plays RPS against others, do they tend to fall back on one particular throw? Is there a pattern? Do they telegraph their throw by moving their fingers early? A loose hand becomes a paper and the first two fingers loose results in scissors. ![]() A tight hand, when raised often, ends in a rock. Observe your opponent’s hands before he throws. Not sure what to do next? Picking paper may give you a very slight advantage. it turns out that the most common throw is rock (35 percent), scissors (35 percent), and then paper (29.6 percent). Statistically, the expected average is 33.3 percent if everything is completely random. If they do two rocks, you follow with scissors. Paper is your best move to either win or tie. If they used scissors twice, their next move will either be rock or paper. If someone has already thrown a double (typically because they won the first time with it), they are very unlikely to use it for a third time. Remember that no one likes to be predictable.In magic, this is called a “force.” Now expect them to throw down a rock. You might say, “Scissors beats paper, paper beats rock (show a sample of the rock with arm movement), and rock crushes scissors” (demonstrate how the rock crushes the scissors). At the start of the game, remind someone about the rules. ![]() Another subtle manipulation technique derives from neurolinguistic programming. If you say, “rock," your opponent will likely throw rock or scissors, leading to your victory or tie. As they will likely not expect you to be that fearless and honest, the one thing that they probably won’t throw down is the action that beats yours. For instance, tell your opponent what you are going to throw and then actually do it. If you can subtly get your opponent to not throw rock, then you choose scissors (leads to either a tie or a win). Gently manipulate your opponent toward choosing a particular action, or not choosing a particular action. Against a veteran, you should lead with scissors: at worst, you’ll tie. They may consider you to be a novice, expect rock and will therefore open with paper. Against a more seasoned opponent, they will purposefully not begin with rock, which is too obvious. Knowing this, a good opening move against a novice is often paper. Rock is a typical opening move for rookies, especially for men, since rock is associated with strength and fortitude. In those cases, paper may be used to signify superiority. Other players identify paper with writing and as such, the power of print is a subtle attack. Some players won’t use this when falling behind because it may symbolize weakness. An open hand is passive, peaceful, and friendly. Represent controlled aggression used as a clever throw-often when someone is confident or winning. Scissors: Some aggression, as they are sharp and dangerous, but also useful craft tools. ![]() Players subconsciously think of rock as a weapon and will rely on it when other strategies are not working. Rock: Very aggressive, symbolized by the fist. There may be subliminal reasons for your opponent choosing a particular symbol. In other words, when you win, go to the next action in the sequence. ![]() If they lose with rock (you played paper), they’ll play paper next. Losers change their strategy and move to the next action (clockwise: R – P – S) in the sequence.
