If you were just after a MAX() or a MIN() you wouldn't have to use the
subqueries, but that's not what you are doing. You're getting the
MAX() and MIN()s and then also getting a non-aggregated value from
those same records. While the code is a bit difficult to read, I've
seen much worse, and I suspect you can't get the result you're after
without writing something at least this difficult.
