I FOUND OUT WHO INVENTED ROSHAMBO!!!

[bar!]

I took a name deduction class yesterday, and using it i found who invented Roshambo (From Ch. 1).

Rule No. 1: The last name rule

Rule no. 1 states that the creator's last name is the name of the product. So the person who made Roshambo...is Roshambo

Rule No. 2: The Alliteration

This is the least known deduction rule. All creator's names are alliterations. Using this, we can find that the creator is either Richard Roshambo or Riley Roshambo.

Rule No. 3: Gender

This is the easiest. Just divide Roshambo (The product) by the word "Gender". If the answer is 1-50, its a guy. if its 50-100, its a girl. Roshambo/Gender=23. So the creator of the game Roshambo is Richard Roshambo.

1. You're spelling it wrong, it's Rochambeau. You're spelling it how it sounds, but the actual word is French, not English and isn't spelled that way.

2. Rochambeau isn't the original name for the game. In English the game is technically called "Rock, Paper, Scissors" and the origin dates back 100's of years, the earliest known version is from China and was called "Jon Ken Pon" which literally translates to "Rock, Paper, Scissors" in English. (In Japanese the concept is translated as "jan-ken-pon" or more often the slang form "Janken" is used)

3. Many countries have nicknames for the game, one of those nicknames is Rochambeau, not because that's who invented it, as the game predates his life by 100's of years, but because of what he was known for. The nickname is derived from "Marshal Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau" and he was a French Nobleman who brought an army to help the United States defeat the British at Yorktown. He was the commander-in-chief of the French Expeditionary Force sent by France to help the American Continental Army against the British Forces and played a distinct role in the American Revolution. (see the Franco-American Alliance). The nickname is a derivative of an allegory about how the British were a rock that was going to beat the Americans (scissors) but in turn were beaten by a piece of paper: The French Alliance ~ and while an argument could be made that the Americans had several treaties and alliances that helped defeat the British, the writer who popularized the concept named it after the French military leader: Rochambeau, but this nickname and the writings that brought about its use didn't occur until generations later.

4. Your rules don't make much actual sense, no idea where you got them from; and if you were trying to make a joke it really isn't that funny.

Even jokes need to make sense or they aren't funny. You created a non sequitur out of a misspelling that leads to a pointless conclusion without a punchline. It's about as funny as the color grey.
