Jim Parsons was on a talk show where they talked about delivering that line and how hard it was. He said on the take where he finally got it, he wasn't actually acting at all because he was completely focused on just remembering what to say next lol. It's a good thing the role comes so naturally to him!
@DeathMayItBe no, what he meant is 75% out of times when you play RPS with a friend you two will tie. Not the chance of getting a tie if you only play one game
He says a tie occurs about 75 to 80% of the time in opponents that KNOW EACH OTHER. Pure chance is about 1/3, but opponents who know each other anticipate the other's move. As a result, their choice isn't random and therefore random chance is skewed. I don't think it's as high as 75-80% but it probably varies from the norm a little.
It's not from one game, other wise the collected info would be resembled by that one game. So if the probability is 1/3 and that probability is .75 or .80 you can say the P(k)=3C1(0.75 or .80)^3(1-0.80 or 0.75)^3-1 giving you probability of the 1in3 outcome.
@Jamal92554 It's not really to do with the outcomes; its to do with the idea that if people know how each other think, they are more likely to pick the same thing. This is of course assuming this is true etc.
i.e. if, hypothetically, I had exactly the same mindset as someone else, there could be a million outcomes but we could end up choosing the same outcome at the same time for every round, i.e. 100% similarity, despite there being a million choices to choose from.
Scissors cut paper Paper covers rock Rock crushes lizard Lizard poisons Spock Spock smashes scissors Scissors decapitate lizard Lizard eats paper Paper disproves Spock Spock vaporizes rock and as it always has Rock crushes scissors
Scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock, rock crushes lizard, lizard poisons Spock, Spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporizes rock, and rock crushes scissors.
Who Wants To Play Rock Paper Lizard Spock Here Are The Rules scissors cuts paper paper covers rock rock crushes lizard lizard poisons spock spock smashes scissors scissors decapitates lizard lizard eats paper paper disproves spock spock vaporizes rock and as it always has rock crushes scissors THINK YOU GOT THAT
@supsup73 "Paper Disproves Spock" means that some type of report, thesis, study, etc. (paper) proves that Spock's logic on a particular subject is wrong.
The problem with this is, Geeks will always pick spock, There's a variation on this which changes Spock to Alien, Just a generic one, but it uses the same hand gesture. It would resolve the issue of geeks picking Spock every time.
@piratequeen11 well you need signed papers to approve something...So if Spock wanted to go on a mission he needs signed papers with papers that disproves of his mission he cant go:D etc
@boomblitx1 He/she's sad for trying to figure out something funny and interesting? I taught 3 of my friends this game who don't even watch TBBT. Maybe you didn't mean it in the way I think you did, and if so, I apologise; but calling someone sad for doing something that they wanted to do for fun just proves that there are... in your words, SAD people out there.
@TimpBizkit Yes, I think any rock/paper/scissors variant that has a prime number of options has equal amounts of wins against/looses against. If you google image rock/paper/scissors, you will find variations with a scaryhuge amount of options.
@KimmyRose12 It has to be an odd number; not necessarily a prime number. Any number of the form 2n + 1 should have each move win against n and lose against n, and tie against itself. The probability of a tie, then, is 1/(2n + 1). The largest variation I've seen is one with 101 moves :O
It would also be interesting if it had the normal rock-paper-scissors rules, but then Spock would win of all of those and lizard would lose of all of those, but lizard would only win from Spock. Think about that, it'd give a new dimension to the game.
@nodymnds4u well theres that, but i remember it being mentioned somewhere else with dialoge like... "Rock paper scissor lizard spock. Damn! Rock paper scissor lizard spock. Damn! You cant always pick spock!"
"scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock, rock crushes lizard, lizard poissons spock, spock smashes scissors, scissors decapacitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves spock, spock vaporizes rock and as it allways has, rock crushes scissors"
ahahah this is amazing the way Sheldon explains that!!! It's hilarious, plus Raaj just accepts the explanation like if it was normal! I was laughing so hard, and then in the end wollowitz comes in dressed like a weird disco pirate, it killed me!!!!
