Rock Paperless Scissors



This cache is placed in tribute to 'Paperless' caching.

One of the first tricks learned by a Rock-Paper-Scissors novice is to hold back a throw of paper until the last possible moment to dupe an opponent into believing that one may actually be throwing a rock. Both paper and scissors have this ability; however, unless one is employing a "double-back" strategy, cloaking a paper throw is likely to draw an instinctive paper from one's opponent. If the throw is accidentally revealed too late, that is, not revealed until the thrower's arm breaks the plane where the thrower's arm is perpendicular to the thrower's torso (at a 90 degree angle), this is considered a foul. In such a case the referee will assign a throw of rock, even if this is not what the thrower intended. This is known as a "forced rock."

Caching with Stantastic today around Irvine. This one has been on my "to do" list for a long time. Today was the day. Let's see, I know about cantaloupes and honeydews but I was just guessing about this one. Very nice camo, brought out a smile from me. Thanks CacheInPocket for the fun.

A nice cool caching day in Irvine with BoydChicks. Shoulda Wiki'd "muskmellon" the night before to determine the size, but BC displayed her knowledge of fruits and vegetables by finding this one pretty quickly. SLTNLN -- thanks for the fun, cache_in_pocket...

Which way is the compass pointing? This side, that side, or over there. What a balancing act! TFTC

Grabbed this one while on a nice Sunday afternoon cache run. With so many rocks, it must be tough to do without the hint. The hint lead us right to it. TFTC! :)

Happy Leap Year! Out with CrazyGramma doing a little bit of bike trail caching. I like all the others, found this cache to be an excellent use of camouflage. SL
