How To Cheat At Rock Paper Scissors

Rock Paper Scissors can be a fair way to solve a dispute, and we all know that fair is no fun. Winning is fun. So learn the secrets of Rock Paper Scissors from a true Rock Paper Scissors legend. Then take those teachings and train hard - or just cheat your way to the top.

Step 1: Prime The Pump

Priming or pumping is the period before the throw is released. Basically it gives players a chance to synchronize with each other, but if a player comes out with a "late throw" or switches a throw at the last second, it's considered cheating.

Step 2: The Slow Roll

There's also a technique called slow rolling. One person will throw paper; the other person will see paper and, in slow motion, throw scissors when they had intended to throw rock - thus changing a losing throw to a winning throw.

Step 3: Dynamite!

Use this extremely devious and highly debated move to catch your opponent off guard, by throwing out one finger and exclaiming, "dynamite beats everything".
Note: This move is highly contentious and will be disqualified in professional competition.
