Q1.
East 1, 0 Honba, 4th Turn, Seat Wind: West, Dora: Haku
A1.
1M is the correct answer. No need to over think, so discarding 1M and have a wider wait is the right choice.
Q2.
East 1, 0 Honba, 4th Turn, Seat Wind: West, Dora: Haku
A2.
2M or 4M is the correct answer. The question is which Kan-Chan are you going to discard. Since you can get a possible 678 San-Shoku, discarding the 2M and 4M is the correct answer.
Q3.
East 1, 0 Honba, 4th Turn, Seat Wind: West, Dora: 7P
A3.
6S is the correct answer. Although the amount of effective tiles are the same as discarding 2S, you can also aim for Pin-Fu, so discarding 6S is the correct answer. If you can't aim for Pin-Fu, discard 2S for a possible better shape.
Q4.
East 1, 0 Honba, 4th Turn, Seat Wind: West, Dora: Haku
A4.
1P is the correct answer. The key to this one is to compare the Ko-Ritsu-Hai (Direct Translation: Lone Tiles). The priority is 1P < 2M < 3S, so discarding the 1P is the correct answer.
Q5.
East 1, 0 Honba, 4th Turn, Seat Wind: West, Dora: Haku
A5.
1S is the correct answer. Although you will be in 2 Shan-Ten (2 tiles away from Ten-Pai), Tan-Yao will become an option for you. Discarding 1S will still let you utilize 3S if you draw it.
Q6.
East 1, 0 Honba, 4th Turn, Seat Wind: West, Dora: 7S
A6.
6M or 8M is the correct answer. You might tend to discard from Haku, but because the Pinzu/Circle shape is goo, discarding 6M or 8M and aiming for Hon-Itsu will be the correct choice.
Q7.
East 1, 0 Honba, 4th Turn, Seat Wind: West, Dora: Haku
A7.
1M is the correct answer. Although discarding 3S will also have a wide wait, your final winning shape will more likely become a Riyan-Men wait by discarding 1M, so that will be the correct choice.
Q8.
East 1, 0 Honba, 4th Turn, Seat Wind: West, Dora: Haku
A8.
3S is the correct answer. Rather than solidifying the 5P and 8P wait, it is better to solidify the 2S 5S 8S wait for a wider final wait.
Q9.
East 1, 0 Honba, 4th Turn, Seat Wind: West, Dora: Haku
A9.
9S is the correct answer. The 6889 shape is still not good regardless if you draw the 7 or not （67889). So in this case, discarding the 9 sooner than later is the correct answer.
Q10.
East 1, 0 Honba, 4th Turn, Seat Wind: West, Dora: Haku
A10.
4P is the correct answer. The amount of tiles you can wait on regardless if it is a Shabo or Kan-Chan wait are the same, but because there is a possible San-An-Kou, discarding the 4P is the correct answer.
