Happy weekend friends of Hive and @IndiaUnited, whom I thank for the contest they organize weekly and of which I would like to participate with this entry.
This is my second #IUContest entry and this time the theme is about what we do in our free time!
In my case, I have a lot of free time, distributed throughout the day, while I wait for customers to arrive at the grocery store we have with my family.
Then, when I'm not serving customers, cleaning or doing anything else, I take advantage of my free time to play CoinMahjong, which is a kind of puzzle of oriental origin.
In my case I play it from my cell phone, and since the game pays satoshis as a reward, I have the purpose of saving enough to be able to pay my college tuition next year, since I want to start a new career, more satisfying than the one I have now, which never gave me joy or satisfaction.
So in my free time I play to earn #satoshis to be able to pay for my enrollment to the Bachelor of Education in Mathematics next year.
For all my friends who want to join the contest of #IndiaUnited , here is the link to see the contest entry and their rules, but I can say that is too easy and so we can have also a great time sharing our hobby and discovering the others hobbies!

When astronomers began to record the progressions of the Sun, Moon and planets, they used a simple mechanism, a board, to calculate the positions of the celestial bodies. The movement across the heavens was recorded by moving counters around the divisions of the board. This, or something similar, is possibly also the origin of widespread games such as parcheesi or goose. But precisely in mahjong some traces of this origin are recognizable, as for example in the fact that the cardinal points are inverted, since it is to represent a celestial map, not terrestrial, or that thirteen tiles are distributed, which are the months of the lunar calendar.
In any case, the history of mahjong is unclear and there are many poorly documented antecedents. For example, one of the legends about its origin states that the game was invented by Confucius around 500 BC. According to this, the tokens of the three dragons, Red, Green and White - in Chinese, respectively, in simplified Chinese, 中; pinyin, Zhōng; literally, 'center', in simplified Chinese, 發; pinyin, Fā; literally, 'prosperity' and pinyin, 白; literally, 'white' - would represent the Confucian virtues of benevolence, sincerity and filial piety. The Red dragon would refer to China (in simplified Chinese, 中国; pinyin, 中国; pi"
