Situation: I am standing in front of a cabinet and leaning on an end of the table.
Alternative situations: Having stacked the chairs in my 4 o'clock direction, I am reaching across the table to pick up a rolling pen, while there is a cabinet behind me. About to place a stack of papers from the cabinet behind me on the table on the end with no chair.
Question: Are there an even or odd number of chairs to the left?
