What are Sundays made for if not to do something totally silly and HAVE FUN!?!? Come have a laugh and participate in the Rock-paper-scissors contest organized by Areriroru in Parc de Milan in Lausanne on Sunday 2nd September.

Registrations for the contest start at noon and cost CHF 5.

BRUNCH: Since the weather has been terrible this week I am cancelling the picnic as it might be too cold and demp for that but would like to propose instead a Sunday brunch @ 11:00 AM at Etoile Blanche. When we finish the brunch, we shall head to Parc de Milan before 14:00 to register for the contest.

Only imperative: LIGHT-HEARTED AND FUN PEOPLE ONLY

GAME PLAY:

The players usually count aloud to three, or speak the name of the game (e.g. "Rock Paper Scissors!" or "Ro Sham Bo!"), each time either raising one hand in a fist and swinging it down on the count or holding it behind. On the third count (saying, "Scissors!" or "Bo!"), the players change their hands into one of three gestures, which they then "throw" by extending it towards their opponent. Variations include a version where players use a fourth count—"Shoot!"—before throwing their gesture, or a version where they shake their hands three times before "throwing." The gestures are (in the 3 gesture version):

- Rock, represented by a clenched fist.
- Scissors, represented by two fingers extended and separated, sometimes coming together
- Paper, represented by an open hand, with the fingers extended and touching, in order to represent a sheet of paper (horizontal).

The objective is to select a gesture which defeats that of the opponent. Gestures are resolved as follows:

- Rock blunts or breaks scissors: rock defeats scissors.
- Scissors cut paper: scissors defeats paper.
- Paper covers, sands or captures rock: paper defeats rock.

If both players choose the same gesture, the game is tied and the players throw again.
