Check the draw first, then list the winning pairs with or.
The worked solution
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, compare your working with the solution.
Plan. Same moves: draw. Then the three winning pairs for player 1, joined with or. Everything else means player 2 wins.
rockagainstscissors: player 1 wins.paperagainstscissors: scissors beats paper, so player 2 wins.paperagainstpaper: a draw.
