Question 10
For distinct real numbers $x$ and $y,$ let $M(x,y)$ be the larger of $x$ and $y$ and let $m(x,y)$ be the smaller of $x$ and $y.$ If $$
a\lt b\lt c\lt d\lt e,
$$ then $$
\begin{aligned} &M\bigl(M(a,m(b,c)),\\ &\qquad m(d,m(a,e))\bigr)= \end{aligned}
$$
a\lt b\lt c\lt d\lt e,
$$ then $$
\begin{aligned} &M\bigl(M(a,m(b,c)),\\ &\qquad m(d,m(a,e))\bigr)= \end{aligned}
$$
