Given the task definition, example input & output, solve the new input case.
In this task, you are given a list of integers and an integer k. You need to find the kth smallest element in the input list and return that.
Example: [163, 290, 90, 51, 96, 86, 282, 265, 10, 85, 91, 201, 68, 126, 26, 228, 229, 236, 31, 71], k=14
Output: 201
201 is the 14th smallest element in the input list.

New input case for you: [160, 130, 171, 108, 35, 252, 210, 140, 261, 65, 203, 280, 95, 61, 165, 281, 32, 275, 176, 269], k=11
Output:
171
