Problem

Let $m$ and $n$ be integers such that $1 < m \le 10$ and $m < n \le 100$. Given that $x = \log_m{n}$ and $y = \log_n{m}$, find the number of ordered pairs $(m,n)$ such that $\lfloor x \rfloor = \lceil y \rceil$. ($\lfloor a \rfloor$ is the greatest integer less than or equal to $a$ and $\lceil a \rceil$ is the least integer greater than or equal to $a$).
