"""The Museum of Incredibly Dull Things.

A museum wants to get rid of some exhibitions.
Vanya, the interior architect, comes up with a plan to remove
the most boring exhibitions. She gives them a rating, and removes
the one with the lowest rating. Just as she finishes rating the
exhibitions, she's called off to an important meeting.
She asks you to write a program that tells her the ratings
of the items after the lowest one is removed.

Create a function that takes a list of integers and removes the smallest value.
