Rock, paper, scissors, Wilcoxon test

Read Original

The article examines the concept of non-transitivity, using rock-paper-scissors as a key example. It delves into the game's historical origins, variants, and extensions like non-transitive dice. The discussion connects these ideas to broader fields, including evolutionary biology (lizard mating strategies) and statistical paradoxes (Efron's dice), ultimately relating non-transitivity to challenges in social choice theory and voting systems.
