Suppose you wrote a program that consisted of just two image blocks - a smile immediately followed by a frown. Both image blocks have the "clear" box checked. What would you expect to see on your NXT screen when you run the program?

Nothing - the program would appear to start and then stop immediately

Just the smile - the NXT cleans up immediately after the last block and so the frown would not be displayed.

Just the frown - since clear means "erase the screen before drawing" the smile would be cleared away

Both - the smile and the frown would appear in quick succession.
