The poll represents what I have seen in my history of playing this “game”.

In germany it’s Schere Stein Papier (scissors rock paper) so maybe a different oder makes a difference? Don’t know… but it feels more probably to choose the last what you say.

But anyhow, good to know this. I’ll choose paper next time (‘cuase the odds are that the other chooses rock)…

hmm, this is crazy. needs more votes and perhaps random order of choices :]

I think you should run this poll again in a few weeks, but change the order of the choices.

See if it’s just option 1 that gets chosen the most perhaps?

Maybe rock is chosen more often due to its hard/strong/smashing nature. It feels stronger than the other options.

I heard it was rock in a strategy book.

I said rock, because it is the first (even when we tell “rock, paper or scissor”). Not a very good argument, but makes sense to me…
