Rock, paper, scissors is an easy game that nearly everyone knows how to play. In the game, at least two people make hand gestures that represent rock, paper, or scissors at the same time. The rules are simple: Rock crushes scissors, paper covers rock, and scissors cut paper. However, most people don’t know where the game came from. The earliest record of a similar game appeared in an ancient Chinese book more than 2,000 years ago.
