The Ultimate Dispute Resolution Tool

Rock paper scissors strikes again.

A judge in Florida resolved a dispute of "Gordian knot" proportions by ordering the attorneys to RPS it out.

As a former Roshambo (the California term for RPS) competitor at the 2003 Southwest ProAm in Healdsburg, I recommend that the attorneys adhere to the "bureaucrat" strategy of paper, paper, paper. Most rookies throw rock, as the fist is already clenched and it is easiest. However, we must assume that these intelligent lawyers are scrupulously reading all about dominant game strategies, thus they know that rock is for rookies -- but perhaps they'll throw rock anyway because they think their opposition will assume they're too smart for rock.

Therein lies the beauty of the game. Read way too much about it here.
