Solution for (16-20):

The machine rearranges one word and one number in each step. First it rearranges words starting with a consonant in reverse alphabetical order, and then it rearranges words starting with a vowel in alphabetical order. For numbers, it first rearranges composite numbers in ascending order, then prime number in descending order.

Input : fire 27 hear 36 national 17 unicorn 18 31 quit owner 23 address 11 earn 32.

Step I : quit 18 fire 27 hear 36 national 17 unicorn 31 owner 23 address 11 earn 32.

Step II: quit 18 national 27 fire hear 36 17 unicorn 31 owner 23 address 11 earn 32.
