# The museum of incredible dull things
# The museum of incredible dull things wants to get rid of some exhibitions.
# Miriam, the interior architect, comes up with a plan to remove the most boring exhibitions.
# She gives them a rating, and then removes the one with the lowest rating.

# However, just as she finished rating all exhibitions, she's off to an important fair,
# so she asks you to write a program that tells her the ratings of the items after one removed the lowest one.
# Fair enough.

# Task
# Given an array of integers, remove the smallest value. Do not mutate the original array/list.
# If there are multiple elements with the same value, remove the one with a lower index.
# If you get an empty array/list, return an empty array/list.

# Don't change the order of the elements that are left.


def remove_smallest(numbers):
    if not numbers:
        return []

    smallest_index = numbers.index(min(numbers))

    return numbers[:smallest_index] + numbers[smallest_index + 1 :]
