i'm daniele from italy and this is my first message.
here's the problem:

i have a list of 25 numbers and i have to find the 3 maximum values then, in these 3 values, the minimum one and return it to the program.

i've searched the documentation in various classes: string, hashmap, biginteger, bigdecimal, collection and so on... all that i have herd something but nothing usefull was found.

any idea or hint on how to solve this problem???
