    In the comments:

    "I think it's a trick. Except for the last two pieces, the dog always alternates choosing one of the two center pieces. I think that the man at he beginning is not mixing the tiles randomly. He is deliberately placing them in a pattern that he devised beforehand so that it will match the order the dog performs.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Hell, MFR and I tried to play Mahjong with some friends. Too damn complicated.

                Except the groupings in gin rummy are all logical and don’t change every year.
