so a new person should assume 5 "manot". and then again - i'm not sure
if this is the case in all faculties. it also changes from time to time,
as far as i know (i.e. during the previous high-tech recession - 2003 or
2004 or so) - i've heard of a person in a different faculty, who got
less then 5 "manot" in the beginning. i wonder what was the case in CS
at that time.

unless you registered very late - in which case sometimes all TA
positions could have been full for the first semester.
when people are making financial preparations - they should plan for the
worst case and make sure they'll be able to get by.
