	@Everybody, apparently: For sake of fairness and truth, Rock-Paper-Scissors-Spock-Lizard is not from a TV show. It's from here: http://www.samkass.com/theories/RPSSL.html which is where it's been since long before most of you kids were on the Internet. Said differently, R-P-S-S-L is "from" "Big Bang Theory" in the same way the character Sherlock Holmes is "from" a Robert Downey, Jr. movie. They existed beforehand, and were incorporated into derivative works that popularized them.

	For those who thought the above was way too simple: http://www.freeworldgroup.com/games5/paperrockscissors/rps25_outcomes.jpg (Too bad Sporcle quiz lengths are capped at 200 instead of 300, am I right?)

	love this quiz.

	I've always understood it to be a PAIR of scissors (what is one scissor?) and therefore it would be scissors cut, not cuts paper. Maybe that's just me.

	Accept scissors "cut" paper.

	What the hell are you supposed to do? I'm trying "beat/s", "win", "lose", "loss", "scissors beats paper", nothing is working! Needs some more instructions.

	i love the dimitri martin talks about rock paper scissors (paper cant do ****)

	NotYou:	Mar 11th, 2011 at 01:44 GMT	7 points
	I see in the archived comments that the reason you're not accepting any alternate answers is because it's from direct quote from the TV show. If you're going to stick with that, you should warn in the directions that you're being really picky. I gave up the first time when I couldn't figure out what to do, and the second time when it didn't accept any of "smushes," "smashes," and "flattens" for what Rock does to Scissors.

	I got all but disprove, decapitate, and vaporises without watching the show or knowing this version of the game. Any whiners need to try guessing, since most are fairly logical. Heh.. unintentional Spock reference..

	Agree with NotYou. I tried "wraps" for paper-scissors and other metaphors. I got 1 out of 10 because I didn't know the vocab (and didn't kow it was needed).

	CaptHayfever:	Mar 12th, 2011 at 00:29 GMT	2 points
	Wow, my strategy of "when in doubt, say decapitate" finally pays off! :)

	PeaceLoveChoco:	Mar 12th, 2011 at 19:14 GMT	3 points
	@TL333s, the words you have to type in are "destroying" words. For example: Lizard poisons Spock, Scissors decapitates Lizard etc.

	after "cut" didn't work I must have lost my mind (never having seen the TV show). Tried "mates with" for lizard/Spock, but no go.

	Spaceman5:	Mar 13th, 2011 at 19:54 GMT	-3 points
	When did lizard and spock existed?

	wyldstallyn:	Mar 15th, 2011 at 16:34 GMT	8 points
	Could you please accept the British spelling of "vaporizes"?

	alicat18a:	Mar 30th, 2011 at 06:58 GMT	3 points
	smashes should also be accepted for crushes...

	LizHerrick:	Apr 20th, 2011 at 06:59 GMT	2 points
	got all of them, but had a bit of a hard time since i suck at spelling.

	@LizHerrick: What in this quiz would be hard to spell?

	3482534211:	Mar 3rd, 2012 at 00:07 GMT	0 points
	bam! beat 35 seconds!

	quiztakka118:	Mar 5th, 2012 at 01:20 GMT	3 points
	this is a great quiz...those of you who don't watch TBBT should NOT be taking this quiz...this quiz was made solely based off of Sheldon's explanation of the game in the "Lizard - Spock Expansion" and is one of my favorite things Sheldon every says!! way to go...awesome quiz :)

	"And, as it always has, rock crushes scissors."
