hmm.. sound logical...Originally posted by Philip Pullman:for jiu zi lian huan, except for the 3 "1"s and 3 "9"s, the rest of the cards are pretty straight forward. the probability of getting it is only slightly lower than 13 wonders (9 vs 13).
for 18 luo han, you need to get at least 4 sets of 3 of a kind and hope that your opponents dun throw your 4th card too early. in fact, most if not all ppl chose to game rather than waiting for the illusive 4th cards to gong.
yao jiu pai.Originally posted by extrinsic:hmm.. sound logical...
but same with 9 lian huan, ppl choose to win early with yi se, instead of aiming for it. probability tells u, that u sld not do it.
which i guess why 13 odd are more "rare"?
cuz there are no other alternative left, if u choose to do that.
though i noe there is a 1-9 hu (pong all 1 or 9).. u happen to noe the name or is there such winning?
i see, great, tks mateOriginally posted by ChoCoChips:yao jiu pai.
i think da si xi is more impressive than yao jiu lehOriginally posted by extrinsic:i see, great, tks mate

hmm.. going by which 18 luo han is the hardest to game?...Originally posted by Philip Pullman:not counting jokers,flowers and animals, there're 136 mahjong tiles.
using simple probability calculation
13 wonders = 52/136 * 48/135 * 44/134 * 40/133 * 36/132 * 32/131 * 28/130 * 24/129 * 20/128 * 16/127 * 12/126 * 8/125 * 4/124 * 39/123
9 zi lian huan = 36/136 * 32/135 * 28/134 * 24/133 * 20/132 * 16/131 * 12/130 * 8/129 * 7/128 * 6/127 * 4/126 * 3/125 * 2/124 * 24/123
18 luo han = 136/136 * 3/135 * 2/134 * 132/133 * 3/132 * 2/131 * 128/130 * 3/129 * 2/128 * 124/127 * 3/126 * 2/125 * 120/124 * 3/123
it would appear that 18 luo shan has a lower probability without even considering the probability of getting gongs
