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?

    The magnified nearsightedness is something I don’t think most folks realize we can do. I’ve never really asked anyone else with eyes like mine about it, I’ve just always assumed. Thanks for confirming.

    Blessing and a curse, right? I love taking my glasses off for a bit at concerts to watch the bokeh around the lights.

    The bottom left pair- I didn’t realize they made glasses like that. I figured out when I was a kid that I could press a few fingers together to make a pinhole and be able to see in focus.

      Yes! The bottom left, I got 2 pairs of those from eBay for $7.16 USD.

      They’re not suitable for everyday wear, but if you lose your nearsighted glasses, it’s better than nothing. So, a glovebox item…

      They’re called pinhole glasses.
