Editing Rock-paper-scissors (section)

== Variants ==

Rock-paper-scissors-Spock-lizard (or rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock) is a common five-option variant of RPS.  In addition to rock, paper, and scissors, the additional options are:

* '''Spock''', represented by the Vulcan salute (open hand, palm facing the opponent, thumb extended, fingers split in a "V" between the middle and ring fingers).
* '''Lizard''', represented by a simple mouth (think "sock puppet" or "pinch").

The mnemonic is extended: Rock smashes scissors and crushes lizard, scissors decapitates lizard and cuts paper, paper covers rock and disproves Spock, Spock smashes scissors (with his Vulcan super-strength) and vaporizes rock (with his phaser), and lizard poisons Spock and eats paper.
