Don’t get me wrong, I totally understand the rules of the game, its rather simple. My question is how do people manage to play out 3 rounds in less than 5 seconds?

For me, it’s a multi-step mental challenge that would take me like 15 to 20 seconds slowed down to complete.

    1. Pick a word, Rock, Paper, Scissors
    1. Remember how to shape my hand
    1. Punch Rock into my palm a couple times anyways, as apparently Rock is the default before the actual sign is thrown
    1. Remind myself how to arrange my own hand sign when the round is up
    1. Observe the opponent’s sign, which is only presented for about a half of a second
  • ?. Oh fuck, I didn’t have enough time to register the opponent’s hand sign
    1. Feel like a fucking idiot and walk away

Seriously, how is this game played so quickly? Is it more suitable for people that know sign language or something?

    I’ve had work managers request me to play before, to assign job duties. They’d play in 3 seconds flat, and wouldn’t slow down for you.

    I refused to play, just because how quickly they expected the game to go. I wasn’t the only employee in that slow RPS boat either.
