Rissor, Scaper, Pock!

Today at work, while doing nothing particularly important I overheard a heated discussion between some fellow employees about the correct title of the game 'Rock-Paper-Scissor' (or scissor-paper-rock, or paper-rock-scissor- which is pretty much how their argument went).

It was pointless, but it was interesting- especially when you note the arguments each one used to back up their logic (Paper-Scissor-Rock is alphabetised, after all). However, the argument ended when somebody whipped out their smartphone and googled it, finding the wiki article entitled Rock-Paper-Scissors.

End of story, right?

Well, not quite. You see, when I got home I was thinking about this, and instead of doing Uni work I decided to quickly google every possible combination of the phrases 'rock', 'paper' and 'scissors'- all six of them!

Now you would assume that, if the correct title of the game is Rock-Paper-Scissor than the amount of articles coming up with this combination of words would demolish all other combinations- but this surprisingly turned out not to be the case.

You see, of the 45,477,000 combined articles in my search, over 22 million of those were attached the relatively unsaid 'Scissor Rock Paper'.

Because pictures are pretty, I illustrated them in a pie graph here:


Don't believe me? Google it yourself =)
