A distant mysterious continent. An unofficial martial art. Legendary champions from dozens of countries, the best of the best among millions of professionals and amateurs. Annual Australian Championship on rock-paper-scissors game in Canberra - a competition in which the strongest and most agile fighters of the southern hemisphere cross their fingers in an uncompromising battle!
This martial art has thousands of names: Rock paper scissors (RPS) - in America, yang-ken-pon in Japan, shnik-shnak-shnuk in Germany, chin-chon-show in South Africa, "rock Paper Scissors", or "U-E-FA" in Russia … But the essence does not change: agility and fortitude can lead to the victory of a player from any country.
During the competition, the fighters experience thousands of tactics: adherents of paper try to calculate and unravel the adherents of scissors, ardent supporters of the stone can suddenly change their totem in the final battle and win a crushing victory; especially dexterous players manage to change the position of their fingers at the last moment of throwing their hand, looking at the enemy (although this is a scam). Before the fight, you can keep your fist closed, or you can defiantly expose the paper in order to replace it with a stone at the decisive moment, or (oh treachery!) And leave it with paper.
But seriously, the main thing in this game is reflection, that is, the ability to penetrate the enemy's intentions by unraveling his psychology. "He knows that I often throw away scissors, which means he will put a stone. So I need to put paper. But this sly man must have figured out everything, that's how slyly he looks at me! I'll throw out the stone," - all these thoughts rush through the player's mind milliseconds before the fight. As you can see, fingers are not only an object of extraordinary finger-art, but also a real weapon.
This year's Australian Championship rock-paper-scissors game will be the seventh. The winner of the last contest was Peter Matthews of Canberra, also known as "Fist of Fury" - a right-handed fighter with an aggressive manner. Interestingly, the best hand in the world last year, Senor Mike (by the way, he is the Australian tennis champion) did not even make it to the final! Truly, there are no authorities here, and the most worthy wins. If you want to try your luck in this amazing competition and you know the game "rock-paper-scissors" like the back of your handthen go to Australia: the championship is taking place in mid-June, and you just have time to prepare.
