;)</p><p><code>find_in_list([1] * 5000, 1)</code>.

Since we have <code>key = 1</code> and the list contains only <code>1</code>s, we should get list of <strong>all</strong> indices.</p><p>If we were to draw a tree of call hierarchy of <code>recursive_find_in_list</code>, we would notice that in sum it is still linear to the length. <strong>However we use <code>extend</code>!</strong></p><p>In the leaves of the tree we return lists of length 1. In this case it means calling <code>extend</code> 5000-times at the second-to-last level of the tree on the 1-element long lists, next level 2500 calls on 2-elements long lists, next one 1250 on 4-elements long lists, etc. At the top-level we get 2 calls on 5000/2-element long lists.</p><p>A lot of <code>extend</code> calls, right? And the lengths of the lists are growing (in this example, second call happens on 2500-elements long lists).</p><p>Because of the <code>extend</code> in each level of the tree (call hierarchy) we traverse all of the elements.
