What is the basis of this conversion?
Why did you split it into two lists?
Why convert into hex strings?

If the original list had been:

[3, 5, 78, 21, -3,  7, 5]

What would your output look like?

It might help to see those loops because it might
explain the reasoning behind the apparently arbitrary
decisions.

Can't help there, I've never used numpy...
