Let's see if anyone can figure this out

I have two airports, one with a runway of 5-23 and another of 10-28.  Which way must the wind be blowing for 23 to be active at one airport and 10 at the other?

Give me the range for the runways to be active. :)

Generally speaking a wind out of the southeast would fit the situation.  Basically a wind direction anywhere between 150-180 degrees would provide you with about 50-80 degrees of crosswind on either runway 23 or 10.
