Hmmm, many whiteboards use electricity if they have a printer but many do not have that feature. Seems like most conference room whiteboards had the printing function but most in people’s cubicles do not. There’s pretty much always metal on a whiteboard though. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one that had zero metal. ---

And, as I mentioned, a water fountain uses electricity. ---

You work in fancier offices than I have. I have never worked where there was a whiteboard with a printer (my kids’ school had a few smart boards, but that is the only place I have seen them). I’ve seen wood frame whiteboards with a wood ledge (had one in my office prior to pandemic) with no visible metal (maybe held together with non-visible from the front metal screws). -shrug- ---

Unofficial: Could be some sort of a file cabinet. I’m not sure that office chairs have been ruled out - although I do think a lot of households have one. ---

Is it typically found in a (standard, basic) modern conference room? For this, I’d think conference table, chairs, whiteboard, monitor, computer, keyboard, rug, lights. But not a mini-fridge, smart board, or most other extras that might be in an executive or souped-up conference room. ---

> [@Celalta](#): > > I have never worked where there was a whiteboard with a printer Oh wow. Most places I’ve worked had that. Thought it was fairly standard in a conference room where you wouldn’t be able to just leave stuff up. ---

Most places I’ve worked had that. Thought it was fairly standard in a conference room where you wouldn’t be able to just leave stuff up. I’ve never worked anywhere with one of those\* either, FWIW. \*or, if there was one, it wasn’t in any of the conference rooms I ever went to. ---

Can I get a reminder of what “typically” means in question 13? Plenty of whiteboards are public property. In fact, literally anything found in a typical conference room could be public property because many public entities have conference rooms that look pretty much the same as corporate conference rooms. ---

Maybe it could be a projector screen. ---

typ·i·cal·ly /ˈtipik(ə)lē/ _adverb_ 1. in most cases; usually. “the quality of work is typically very high” - with the distinctive qualities of a particular type of person or thing. adverb: **typically** “typically masculine social roles” - in a way that is characteristic of a particular person or thing. “David lit up many gatherings with his typically forthright comments” I think the dictionary definition works fine here. ---

Is it typically found on the ground (as opposed to hanging on wall or from ceiling)? (Official) No: whiteboard, projector screen Yes: conf tables, office chair, any other conf room items? ---

I really don’t think it can be an office chair. That is an extremely common household item, especially now. I think whiteboard or projector screen are most likely. Most conference tables have electricity and all have metal components. ---

The item does have metal components. Or, at least, it can and often does. I’m not sure I would say that a table that has power outlets in it “uses” electricity. ---

Lucy made it sound like it sometimes doesn’t have metal components though. A table always would. Even a wood table would usually have at least metal hardware. At least, the kind of table that doesn’t have metal hardware wouldn’t be found in a modern conference room.
