A word-and-number arranging machine rearranges an input line one step at a time. In each step it moves the word that comes earliest in alphabetical order to the extreme left and the highest number to the extreme right; the other elements keep their order in between (words move only left, numbers only right). Input: cat 15 dog 8 ant 23 bee 42. In Step 1, which element is second from the right?
