Yes, recursion is very confusing. Don’t be alarmed if it takes a while to sink in. There have been some recent threads where I’ve tried to explain this solution, [here](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/questions-about-use-recursion-to-create-a-countdown/475552/2) and [here](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/confusion-con-recursion/476688/5). Take a look at those and see if those help. If not, let us know.
