Methods (passing params) & loops

Question

Evening all, i'm having a problem with some repetition in my code here. I've been troubleshooting it for the past hour now and haven't got any further.
I'm calling methods from the main class, but this one is a little fudged.
/*Program to call
*methods which are
*created after the
*main class
import java.util.*;
public class FunctionName1050
     public static void main(String[] args)
     String prompt = "Enter a number from 10 to 50";
     int num1 = 10;
     int num2 = 50;
     tenTofifty(prompt, num1, num2);
     public static int tenTofifty(String prompt, int num1, int num2)
          Scanner kybd = new Scanner(System.in);
          System.out.print(prompt);
          System.out.println("\n");
          while(kybd.nextInt() <num1 || kybd.nextInt() >num2)
          System.out.print(prompt);
          System.out.println("\n");
          return kybd.nextInt();
}As you can see, I simply want my tenTofifty method to quit if the user enters a number between 10 & 50. I can't return the value before my while loop else it can not be reached, should I be using a different loop? I need an iterative loop which continues and then exits when the user enters the correct number.
The loop itself works, but does not quit when I enter between 10-50, a further 2 lines of random values can be entered before it quits.
Can anybody spot my mistake?

          Scanner kybd = new Scanner(System.in);
          System.out.print(prompt);
          System.out.println("\n");
          int i = kybd.nextInt();
          while(i <num1 || i >num2)
          System.out.print(prompt);

                i = kybd.nextInt();
          return i;
