In real life we have situations such as: Rock > Scissors, Scissors > paper and Paper > Rock. Is there a type of math to deal with this?

Asked by GeorgeGee (4930points) September 10th, 2010

There’s no conflict in the game of rock-paper-scissors to say that each could beat another, there is no single greatest. But in standard math, that would be nonsense. How do we reconcile this?
