 *The pair cannot be composed off [[yakuhai]] - the pair cannot be the round wind, seat wind, or a dragon.
 *The hand must have a [[ryanmen]] wait. A ryanmen wait is two consecutive tiles waiting to complete either side of sequence, such as {23} or {45}.
-**The pair must be complete before reaching tenpai. This means that the "two-sided" [[nobetan]] does not count.
+**The pair must be complete before reaching tenpai. This means that the "two-sided" [[nobetan]] does not count, it has to be a wait to complete a sequence.
-**[[Complex wait]]s can score pinfu if they are composed off of ryanmen waits. Therefore, a [[sanmenchan]] wait always counts. [[Ryantan]] counts if you win by completing the sequence (e.g. a wait of {4555} only scores pinfu if you win with 3 or 6).

 If you know how fu is scored, the requirements for pinfu make sense. Triplets and quads score at least 2 fu each. A yakuhai pair scores 2 fu. A non-ryanmen wait scores 2 fu. Therefore, by avoiding these sources of fu, you gain pinfu. Pinfu ''is'' allowed to score the 10 fu from winning from a closed [[ron]].
