The numbers $1,2,\dots,10$ are written on a board. Every minute, one can select three numbers $a$, $b$, $c$ on the board, erase them, and write $\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}$ in their place. This process continues until no more numbers can be erased. What is the largest possible number that can remain on the board at this point? [i]Proposed by Evan Chen[/i]
