Except for Tomek, there are~$28-1=27$~students. The number of students who received more points than Tomek is~$27\div(2+1)=9$, so Tomek is in the~$9+1=10^{th}$~place. 
Twenty-eight students from the fourth grade competed in a math competition. Each student earned a different number of points. The number of students who received more points than Tomek is two times smaller than the number of students who had fewer points than Tomek. In which position did Tomek finish that competition?~ ($2002$~Math Kangaroo Problem, Level $3-4$, Question \#$23$)
