A word-and-number arrangement machine rearranges any input line in steps. In each step the word that comes first in alphabetical order among the words not already shifted in an earlier step is taken out and placed at the extreme left end of the line. All the remaining elements keep their relative order, and the machine stops when no further shift is possible.
Input: 15 bat 62 corn 49 dew 87 ear.
In Step 2 of the above arrangement, which element is second from the right end?
