A Girl and her Scissors



I wonder how much they wasted on that study.

It probably wasn't much, AA, likely only in the tens-of-millions.

You gotta find the probability distribution here, AA. Set up a Markov process, get a Riemannian metric going, let the stochastic juices flow, do something! A big bucks grant is in store.

...and AI isn't even addressing the funding needed to place paper-rock-scissors today in its proper historical context. How do we know where paper-rock-scissors is today if we don't understand its origins? And this doesn't even begin to scratch the anthropological and ethnohistorical surface of how other cultures have used paper-rock-scissors, or a variation of, to settle minor and major monetary disputes.

Now I think we're looking at closer to 50 million for a proper study. We'll need a small company of historians and anthropologists to start with. I'll handle the humanities end of it. You guys get to work on the hard science portion.
