What grade is Charlie Brown in now?
(Assume that his school district has 180 day school years)
Solution to the Problem:
Charlie Brown must be in the first grade.
Divide 2,120 by 180 to get 11 school years with a remainder of 140 days.
So, Charlie Brown must have made that statement on the 40th day of first grade. Poor guy!
