Restricted as closed only, this hand must draw at least 12 of the 13 tile types, among the honors and terminals. If a pair exists within the hand upon [[tenpai]], then naturally, the hand is waiting on the last remaining tile type not yet in the hand. In turn, this hand will be deemed [[karaten|impossible for completion]], when all 4 of any of the tile types are no longer available. Yet, if a player manages to develop the 13 wait variety, then this hand greatly increases its chances of completion, needing to simply pair any of the 13 types. | Restricted as closed only, this hand must draw at least 12 of the 13 tile types, among the honors and terminals.

On average, a hand ending in [[exhaustive draw]] ends with roughly 16-19 tiles discarded per player, pending any tile calls. Therefore, every player has that many tile draws to work with. For example, if a hand starts with 9 tiles for the yakuman, then it requires 4 [[shanten|tile draws]] searching for specific tiles. Usually, barring unusual circumstances, those tile draws are nonconsecutive. If anything, a number of tile draws will be required to even attain tenpai. With that said, the decision to form a kokushi musou must be a decisive one at the [[haipai|very beginning of the hand]]. | On average, a hand ending in [[exhaustive draw]] ends with roughly 16-19 tiles discarded per player, pending any tile calls.
