Many cultures have this quick game to make a selection between two players. The usual cycle is:
scissors cuts paper wraps rock breaks scissors
Scissors is fingers in a horizontal V, paper is palm, and rock is fist.
In Malaysia we played a variant where the fingers are brought together to form a beak and the cycle is:
bird drinks water sinks rock kills bird
My friend mentioned another variant where the fingers represent a cup and the cycle is:
cup contains water sinks rock breaks cup
Oh, and the chant we used was: wan too soom (1 2 zoom).
