A list of integers has mode 32 and mean 22. The smallest number in the list is 10. The median m of the list is a member of the list. If the list member m were replaced by m+10, the mean and median of the new list would be 24 and m+10, respectively. If were m instead replaced by m-8, the median of the new list would be m-4. What is m?
