* Therefore, if you can see all four copies of an honor tile, that honor tile is 99.9% safe. Because you can see all four copies of that tile, an opponent cannot have said honor tile in their hand, so they cannot wait on that tile. (A special hand called [[kokushi musou]] - the 13 Orphans - is the only way one can win off the 4th honor tile.) | * Therefore, if you can see all four copies of an honor tile, that honor tile is 99.9% safe.

* If you can see three copies of an honor tile, that tile is 99% safe. The only way to win is if to complete a pair. A ready hand that waits to complete a pair is not common, plus they must be waiting on the exact copy of the honor tile, so that tile is very safe. | * If you can see three copies of an honor tile, that tile is 99% safe.

* When you want to discard a tile numbered (1,2,3) or (7,8,9), a 100% safe tile that is 3-apart simply makes that tile safer. A discarded 4 makes 1 and 7 safer; a discarded 5 makes 2 and 8 safer. | * When you want to discard a tile numbered (1,2,3) or (7,8,9), a 100% safe tile that is 3-apart simply makes that tile safer.

A discarded 1 on its own does not make 4 safer, but a discarded 1 and 7 does make 4 safer. | ||
