Transcript

Mahjong Island has four copies of every tile, 136 tiles in all.

So there are exactly four 5 Dots in the game, and four of every other tile.

Three of them make a Set, and the fourth is still out there for someone else.

Each game also deals four wild Jokers, which brings it to 140 tiles.

Knowing there are only four of each tells you what could still be left to draw.
