You can learn it, but you may have no chance to use it.  To us, "paper,
scissors, stone/rock" is as simple and common as saying hello,
but not to Americans.  My personal experience: kids in New York have
never seen or heard it, not to mention played.  When it comes to deciding
who will win the selection, they play "odd or even" in which one player
will call "odd" or "even" then both players will throw either one finger
or none (like our "stone").  The one who called the right "odd or even"
of the count of the fingers wins.  Flipping a coin is also a common way.

Not sure about other western countries.
