Regularity

Mnemonic

If a grain has a fault, it needs to be put back in order. Grains must be perfectly identical at all times, otherwise they'll be thrown out. That's why special people will go out and check them to confirm their regularity. Keeping order is a tough job!

Hints

Imagine being one of these people who maintain order by going out in the fields and inspecting every single grain, keeping the good ones and plucking off the ones with faults.

Mnemonic

You can always tell if a company keeps order or if it cheats (ちつ) just by looking at the grains.

Hints

If there are faulty grains in there, they cheated and order was not maintained. Now you have to go through all the grains and throw out the weird ones yourself.
