Wait, you mean there's actual strategy involved in winning Rock Paper Scissors? 

Like many viewers, I'd never heard of such a thing until I watched Mai #287 dominate Phill #451 in Squid Game: The Challenge. 

And this whole time I thought it was just down to dumb luck. Apparently not. 

I did some research and was surprised to learn that there's actually some scientific research on the Art and Science of Winning Rock Paper Scissors (RPS). 

This video focuses on 5 practical strategies/tips for boosting your odds of winning by looking at the lessons learned that we can discover from the Squid Game episode, as well as a 2014 research paper conducted by a Chinese university that involved 360 students that played 18,000 rounds of Rock Paper Scissors.

Okay, you're not going to win $4.5 million...but these tips might just help you avoid cleaning the kitty litter box or unloading the dishwasher next time...
