I mean if we discard the 3 man we are waiting for 169 man to tenpai, I don't get it, and if we discard the 8 man we are waiting for 146 to tenpai, and 4 we have one of them in our hand, so I think discarding the 3 man is the ocrrect answer here...<br /><br /><br />I just though of it for a second and I think if we discard the 8 man we will have this kind of hand<br /><br />233457m34p66999s<br /><br />so our wait for tenpai is 1m*4, 3m*2, 4m*3, 3p and 4p both *3 and 6s*2 = that give us 17 tiles to wait on to riichi...<br /><br />BUT, if we discard the 3 man, it will be like this<br /><br />234578m34p66999s<br /><br />so our wait for tenpai is 6m*4, 9m*4, 3p*3, 4p*3 = this mean 14 tiles? is this is why the 8 man is better to discard? mr. sl101https://www.blogger.com/profile/06995204876849059461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359455608998331474.post-16991237761489549642015-07-12T05:33:00.769+08:002015-07-12T05:33:00.769+08:00Ah, disregard my comment :D I've just realized...Ah, disregard my comment :D I've just realized my approach was incorrect.Krabmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12164588947172140491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359455608998331474.post-74421900737421160952015-07-12T05:30:09.754+08:002015-07-12T05:30:09.754+08:00What about losing the chance for 9m in the ex. 1??...What about losing the chance for 9m in the ex. 1?? One 4m is already in our hand so wouldn't 3m be a more effective discard? Not to mention a chance for Iitsu which is not the main concern here.Krabmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12164588947172140491noreply@blogger.com
