In order to understand recursion, you have first to understand recursion ))

nice solution, but to be in the clear category it should at least have a comment or better more meaningful title than "First". I suggest "recursive solution". But I really LIKE this solution! Simply marvelllous. I learned a lot again today.

this solver tell me that try and recursion are a good combination.

This is brilliant. Quite simple but efficient. When I solved it, I didn't even know what Try could do :)

Not the most effisient way. But it's fine solution.

"Try" is not speedy operation. In production such solution is not accepted at all. But for educational purpoces it's accepted.

Great! And real clean solution, all code is readable. Recursion in this format - realy good and safe, but not fast.

I like it, but i prefer not use try and replace it with a check on isinstance(array, Iterable). GG

List, list and list again
