A number-arranging machine rearranges an input line of numbers step by step. Example — Input: 62 34 89 17 45 23; Step 1: 17 62 34 89 45 23; Step 2: 17 23 62 34 89 45; Step 3: 17 23 34 62 89 45; Step 4: 17 23 34 45 62 89 (last step). In each step the next-smallest number is moved to the leftmost not-yet-fixed position, the others keeping their order. In the last step for the input '55 28 71 39 84 16', which number is third from the left?
