42. Good for him
I have a professor that will involve himself in your call if you get up to answer it. He knows about everyone's personal business, but people are less willing to take a call during class. Actually it has turned out to be a pretty effective policy as no one really wants to tell their prof. about their baby's daddy and so on.
