Situation: I just got in the room and scanned which table to sit in front of me.
Alternative situations: I just entered a room for a meeting, so the door is directly behind me. There is a black chair against the wall to my right and a table with chairs to my left where I will sit. I pretend I have allowed a student to use the board, so I walk away and stand in the corner by the door, facing the blackboard from here.
Question: Am I closer to the chair on the right or the left?
