Explanation:

Let’s break this down step by step:

- The machine rearranges both words and numbers in each step:

- On each odd step: It takes the leftmost word, reverses it, puts it to the left. The smallest number moves to the far right, minus 1.

- On each even step: It takes the next leftmost word, reverses it, puts it after the last reversed word. The second smallest number also moves to the far right, minus 1.

- Applying this to your input:

- Original input: 78 Unbound 52 Height 41 Accord 37 Modern Nobles 77

- Steps go like this (by pattern):

1. Take "Accord" (smallest word by order), reverse: Drocca. Smallest number (37), to right as 36.

2. Next: "Height" (leftmost original that isn’t yet moved), reverse: Thghei. Next smallest (41), to next right spot as 40.

3. "Modern", reverse: Nredom. Next number (52), as 51.

4. "Nobles", reverse: Soblen. Next number (77), as 76.

5. "Unbound", reverse: Dnbounu. Next number (78), as 77.

So the final arrangement is:

Drocca Thghei Nredom Soblen Dnbounu 38 42 51 76 77

- Now—the question:

- 6th from the right: Start from the right, count left.
