Four travelers sit around a circular campfire. Arthur is directly across from Brenda. Charles is sitting immediately to the right of Arthur. Who is sitting immediately to the left of Brenda?
Charles
If Arthur is at the bottom and Brenda is at the top (directly across), Charles is to Arthur's right (which is the left side of the circle from Brenda's perspective). Looking down at the circle, if Arthur is facing Brenda, Arthur's right is Brenda's left. Thus, Charles is to Brenda's left.
