If you only eat one bagel today, this is the bagel.
Summary
The article explores the mathematical and game-theoretic possibilities of extending the classic rock-paper-scissors game beyond three options. By allowing more pairings to result in ties, a richer landscape of game dynamics and strategies emerges, revealing complex relationships between different game elements and their interactions.

· 4 pulledIts simplicity means that all strategy is scraped away, and all that's left is to cold read the other person's soul.
Come, stare into my eyes, and I'll see the weapon you'll choose.
Your heart says to crush, your mind says to cut, and your hands yearn to smother.
If you allow more pairings to be ties, this uncovers a rich garden of different game dynamics and strategies.
