Talk:One potato, two potato

question about game theory
Apologies if this is an inappropriate edit given the visibility of something above that says don't edit this page. I'm hoping that is directed at the embedded archive. That said, I'm requesting a clarification in the page as to whether or not the 'counting out' game aspect of this (as seen in the L.A. Law Season 1 Episode 10 tv show) is actually a 'fair game'. I.e. it seems to be used as an alternative to 'rock paper scissors', but it seems like it is a deterministic rather than random 'game' to me, thus not actually useful. I think this, if true, would be worth a mention on the page. 140.186.108.35 (talk) 03:10, 3 February 2022 (UTC)


 * It is deterministic, as you say, but as a children's way of selecting one of their number it is probably 'random enough'. Can't add anything about that into the article unless we have a reliable source that discusses the issue. MichaelMaggs (talk) 08:47, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
