You can use the functions in the [`bisect`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/bisect.html) module with a list slicing operator. For example `bisect_left` finds the index of the insertion point in a sorted list, and if the values are equal, it will find the position to its left. ``` >>> l = [1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8] >>> from bisect import bisect_left >>> bisect_left(l, 4) 2 >>> bisect_left(l, 5) 2 >>> l[bisect_left(l, 4):] [5, 6, 7, 8] >>> l[bisect_left(l, 5):] [5, 6, 7, 8] ```
