I was the jerk in your classes who couldn't get his head around recursion. (I know, I know...it's not hard.)

For shame. As punishment, I think I will post the David Hasselhoff Recursion here. Yes, that will teach you what happens to those who fail to mention the David Hasselhoff Recursion at any given opportunity.
