Raj Koothrappali: Okay, who gets the extra dumpling?
Raj Koothrappali, Sheldon Cooper, Howard Wolowitz: Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock!
[They all draw Spock]
Sheldon Cooper: Okay, one of us is going to have to stop putting up Spock.
Howard Wolowitz: How do we decide that?
Raj Koothrappali, Sheldon Cooper, Howard Wolowitz: Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock!
Raj Koothrappali, Sheldon Cooper, Howard Wolowitz: [They all draw Spock again] Ahh!

And the stranger said "Now make a rock so great that no one may lift it."
And so the magician created the mightiest rock yet.
And the stranger quietly whispered to the magician...





"paper".

Talc is a rock and quite easy to cut with scissors and smash with sufficiently stiff wood fiber.

Anyone who throws anything other than rock/paper/scissors is a douche. It's one of those things where there should be a law that allows for one automatic dick-punch to teach them a lesson.

It represents erosion. Think of it more like sandpaper.
Ah, but sandpaper is merely paper coated with many tiny rocks.

You have to play particle-triangle-universe-person, though the rules are a bit sketchy.

Triangle beats particle.
Triangle beats person.

That's about it.:\

Mouse scares Elephant

Everyone can understand that.
