Hi Thomas,

tail [] raises an error, therefore your code will fail when n > length xs (
e.g. mydrop 3 [1,2] will raise an exception, where [] is the expected
result). Your function is also limited to list of Int only (mydrop :: Int ->
[Int] -> [Int]).

2) What do you think of the tests I did to verify that this
