For "blocks" = (taatsu/pairs/groups). This is identical to the above calculation, but assumes all hands have a pair, then adds +1 shanten if it doesn't actually have a pair. This generalization works in all cases except when a hand in tenpai is waiting on a pair, which is why the "4 groups + 0 pair = tenpai" exception is present.
For "blocks" = (taatsu/pairs/groups). This is identical to the above calculation, but assumes all hands have a pair, then adds +1 shanten if it doesn't actually have a pair. This generalization works in most cases; notable exceptions include hands with 3 groups + 1 taatsu + 2 isolated tiles (which is 1-shanten), or 4 groups + 1 lone tile (which is tenpai).
