Situation: I am sitting on the couch reading a small novel as I wait for my hot chocolate to cool down on the table on my left side.
Alternative situations: I am sitting on the couch opposite to the picture on the wall, talking on the cellphone to my boss. I am sitting in the center of a couch with another couch on the opposite side of the room with a jacket on it.
Question: How many pictures are hanging on the wall across from me?
