So wait...in the Kent variant, what wins when it's water vs. hole? 140.254.209.199 16:51, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

The "well" version (new element beats rock and scissors but loses to paper) was featured in a documentary that I saw in 1974 on German television: "Der Stein ist in den Brunnen gefallen" ("The rock has fallen into the well"). They had a bunch of schoolchildren playing the game repeatedly. I presume the intent was to see if the children would figure out what the mathematicians knew (that rock is useless in this variant), but my German wasn't good enough to follow the entire program; I don't know what the conclusion was. 171.64.71.123 22:17, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

It's totally nonsense that in The Netherlands we say dynamite instead of paper. It's just steen (rock), papier (paper), schaar (guess what? scissors).

Damn I can get so angry on stuff like this

And I get angry that I added the bit about NEW ZEALANDERS adding emphasis on the word rock, and when the article is moved, they say that it's "Australians". How would Canadians feel being called Americans?203.118.189.153 22:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

They'd probably be happy that someone finally isn't using the name of the continent as a synonmym for the United States. -- Milo
