We make a generator that will return negative values from a list (and use chain(*matrix) to flatten the 2d list into a 1d list) and only take one value from it with the next function.

This will raise StopIteration if it doesn't find the value.

This will raise StopIteration if it doesn't find the value so we need to account for it.
