Teacher: In this task, you are given a list of integers and an integer k. You need to find the kth smallest element in the input list and return that.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
[163, 290, 90, 51, 96, 86, 282, 265, 10, 85, 91, 201, 68, 126, 26, 228, 229, 236, 31, 71], k=14
Solution: 201
Reason: 201 is the 14th smallest element in the input list.

Now, solve this instance: [182, 287, 153, 29, 292, 220, 52, 104, 299, 236, 113, 10, 117, 125, 95, 44, 180, 42, 173, 215], k=2
Student:
