Summary: 
We define a new 4-hand Rock-Paper-Scissors type model suitable for a leader election algorithm. We derive the average length and its asymptotic behavior of the leader election algorithm by the 4-hand Rock-Paper-Scissors type model. We compare the 4-hand Rock-Paper-Scissors type model with the traditional Rock-Paper-Scissors model.
