About Rock Paper Scissors

Rock Paper Scissors History
The game of rock-paper-scissors originated in Japan in the late 19th century and was popularized throughout the world in the 20th century. The game was first known as Jan-ken-pon in Japanese. "Ken" in Japanese is fist. Currently the game is played by school children worldwide, and there are many cultural variations of the game. According to The Guinness Book of World Records, on April 3, 2009, Colonel By Secondary School in Ottawa, Canada, held the largest recorded rock-paper-scissors tournament, with approximately 1150 participants.
