Fred has 4 pencils (red, blue, green, and yellow), 3 notebooks (plain, lined, graph), and 9 pieces of chalk (all different colors). He always takes one pencil, one notebook, and one piece of chalk to class.

If he wanted to take a unique combination to class every day, how many days would he be able to do this before he would be forced to repeat one of the combinations?
