Every parent eventually realizes this, I suppose. I only recently started using "eeny, meeny, miny, moe" with my 4 and 2 year old when they argue about who gets to go first, etc.
I noticed if you have 2 or 4 participants, the last person always wins. And if you have 3 or 5 participants, the first person always wins.
It's nice to have some "random" strategy in my back pocket when I want someone to go first but have to make it seem like its random to them.
Hahahaha kids are so dumb

This occurred to me last weekend as we were playing mah jong with four people. The first thing you do is roll two dice and count around the table that number. You stop on the person who goes first. I thought they could just divide by four and take the remainder and count that many. So dumb. Also the sum of two dice is not a flat distribution. It’s a bell curve with seven at the top. So the third person is the most common to start. It’s not equitable. As the only white person at the table, equity was top of my mind.
Education is extremely important.

Real mah jong is quite complicated, then they change the combinations every year.

A D4 would be equitable. D6 not so much.
