Nice. It makes totally sense to sort the elements and slice the min/max away. :-) Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. I'd like to point out that sorting is simple but more work than needed, at least for large sets (much larger than here). An asymptotically better performing but much more complex solution is shown <a href="https://py.checkio.org/mission/shorter-set/publications/juestr/python-3/on-on-average-using-quickselects-side-effects/">in speedy</a>.
