“One-two-SHOOT” or “one-two-three-SHOOT?”

Rock-Paper-Scissors is a culturally vital game that, for centuries, has helped to solve otherwise unsolvable problems such as where to go for dinner, who should take out the trash, or who gets to pull the plug on grandma.

You might also call it "Roshambo," "Jaken," "JaKenPo," or something else entirely. But for the purpose of this post, we're going to call it Rock-Paper-Scissors.

But there's ONE argument Rock-Paper-Scissors has not been able to solve: HOW MANY TIMES should you shake your fist (or "prime") before you throw either rock, paper, or scissors?

Do you go for the North American prime, aka one-two-SHOOT?

Or do you prefer the European prime, aka one-two-three-SHOOT?

You may even chant "Rock, Paper, Scissors, SHOOT!" as you do this.
