Using an Unused Desk in N100 During Other Classes

Each professor has

their own rules for students using a desk during their class – oyu have to talk to them
For me you have to ask me before class begins – if you stay you can not keep going in and out of the room because it disrupts the class
Priority seating and computer use goes to the group who’s class time it is

There are 6 F’s

One of average intelligence finds 3 of them.

If you spotted 4, you're above average. If you discovered 5, you can turn your nose at most anybody. If you caught 6, you are a genius. There is no catch. Most people forget the "OF"s. The human brain tends to see them as Vs instead of F's. Is this a valid way to determine how "smart" someone is
