Just take out your notebook and write what's happening..
Only then you can understand what's going wrong.

Let's understand with an example
a = 1, b = 2 and c = 3

First you wrote,

third = Math.max(a,b);
= Math.max (1,2)
So, third = 2;

Next you wrote,

third = Math.max(third,c);
= Math.max(2,3) = 3
Now, third = 3 (You found the max value!)

But then you wrote,

⚠️ first = Math.max(a,b);
= Math.max(1,2)
Which makes first = 2

/***
This is the line where you went wrong.
You should find the minimum of a and b.
Since we are now interested to find the minimum of three numbers.

Change this line to,

first = Math.min(a,b)
And your problem will be solved.

*/

And then,
first = Math.min(first,c);
= Math.min(2,3) = 2

So first is 2.

Now when you're doing,

sec = (a+b+c) - (first + third);
It simply does,
(1+2+3) - (3+2) = 1
