Getting Runtime Error. Can someone suggest mean what mistake I'm doing in my code. I'm trying to upload code in hackerrank but i suggest below mentioned error. My code problem work on my laptop. I cant grasp the problem help me.Given the participants' score sheet for your University Sports Day, you are required to find the runner-up score. You are given scores. Store them in a list and find the score of the runner-up.Print the runner-up score.

You are passing multiple items to append which only accept a single item. If you want to add more than one item to your list at the same time, try using extend:
score_board = []
for i in range(int(input())):
score_board.extend([int(x) for x in input().split()])
new_board = sorted(list(set(score_board)), reverse=True)
print(new_board[1])
This would work with your current input style. You also don't need to specify the 0 in the for loop, since it automatically starts at 0.
