What Would You Discard? #4996547 (1-shanten)
Which tile do you discard? (maximize acceptance)
Show answer
7筒 ・ acceptance 16tiles: 5萬 6萬 1筒 4筒 白
Why this move works
The answer is 7p. The hand stays at 1-shanten, but acceptance is widest at 16 tiles (5m, 6m, 1p, 4p, 白).
Discarding 4m or 6m drops acceptance to 12. Among the discards that keep 1-shanten, 7p reaches tenpai on the most tiles.
