Situation: I am standing in front of a round table and there are some armchairs in my 10 o'clock direction.
Alternative situations: I just got up from sitting on chair by the table behind me and walked to the trash can to throw out my gum. I am leaning against the round table in the corner checking the trash cans across the room.
Question: What is closer to me between the fireplace to my left and the table behind me?
