Let $\{a_1,a_2,...,a_{100}\}$ be a sequence of $100$ distinct real numbers. Show that there exists either an increasing subsequence $a_{i_1}<a_{i_2}<...<a_{i_{10}}$ $(i_1<i_2<...<i_{10})$ of $10$ numbers, or a decreasing subsequence $ a_{j_1}>a_{j_2}>...>a_{j_{12}}$ $(j_1<j_2<...<j_{12})$ of $12$ numbers, or both.
