Twenty-five people of different heights stand in a $5\times 5$ grid of squares, with one person in each square. We know that each row has a shortest person, suppose Ana is the tallest of these five people. Similarly, we know that each column has a tallest person, suppose Bev is the shortest of these five people.
Assuming Ana and Bev are not the same person, who is taller: Ana or Bev?
Prove that your answer is always correct.
