Wyatt Baldwin has been playing rock, paper, scissors(剪萬) since he was a kid. The game helped him scttle disagreements with his three older sisters.“I never got the chance to pick w hat we w atched on TV until I learned the sport of rock, paper, scissors," he says.

What is the secret to his suecess? "Look for patterns in either your opponent's moves or bchavior," he says. As all serious rock, paper, scissors players know, there's more to the game than luck.

It seems that your chances of w inning and losing are about the same, but the outcome of the game is not random. That's because human behavior isn't random. There are patterns in how people make decisions.

A study at Zhejiang University, in China, looked at how people play rock, paper, scissors. It followed 360 students in a competition. Researchers found two key patterns. Winners tended to repeat their winning hand symbols. Losers tended to go from rock to paper to sissors
