Hi. An elementary question here about two functions in Data.List: how to use a value from findIndex which returns a Maybe Int, and then use that result in splitAt which takes a regular Int?

Once you understand why you can't feed a (Maybe Int) to a function that takes an Int, throw it all away and use `splitOn` from the "split" package instead =) https://hackage.haskell.org/package/split-0.2.2/docs/Data-List-Split.html
