If you heat the rock up enough you can burn thru the paper, melt the scissors and win everytime. Interesting is the aspect that given 3 choices people will tend to fall into a pattern, albiet one influenced by what the other player does. Also worth noting that variations of RPS exist for example Malaysians use water instead of paper, and in place of scissors is a bird, made by holding the fingertips together, forming the shape of a beak. The bird drinks up the water, the water sinks the rock, and the rock kills the bird."
