Tom and Huck have each scheduled meetings for 2 pm. Tom has booked Soho (boardroom 1), and Huck has not booked a room. Tom's meeting is a half-hour catch-up on a low-priority project, but Huck has planned an hour-long meeting with a major client. Tom is slightly late for his meeting, and when he arrives at Soho at 2:05 pm, it’s occupied by Huck and the client. Who’s entitled to the meeting space, Tom or Huck?
- Huck, because his meeting is higher priority
- Huck, because Tom lost his claim to the room when he showed up late
- Tom, because he booked the space for that block of time
