Rock, Paper, Scissors. The game as old as cutting utensils. We've all heard of, if not played, this game. But how well do you know it's orgins? Well, this cache is all about the fascinating children's game. It is first mentioned in an old chinese book, and is said to originate from the time of the Han Dynasty, or 206 BC – 220 AD. Then a form of it known as Mushi-ken migrated directly to Japan. In this game, it was a frog, a slug, and a snake, although originally it was a centipede rather than a slug. The most popluar japanese sansukumi-ken game (which meant a game with three seperate hand signals that opposed each other) was called kitsune-ken, which featured a mythical fox bewitching a village head man, who employed a hunter, who shot the fox. The three symbols we now know came from Janken, a variation of the Chinese games. Now, the hand gestures for Rock, paper, and scissors have become the most common since the modern version of the game was created, in the late 19th century. The game eventually found it's way all across the world.
This cache is also dedicated to rock. Rock is thrown the most commonly, at roughly 35.4 percent of the time. Rock is thought of as very aggressive, as it is symbolized by the fist. Players subconsciously think of rock as a weapon and will rely on it when other strategies are not working. Enjoy the cache!
