def merge_sort(input_list):
    """
    merge_sort is a divide-and-conquer algorithm that repeatedly breaks
    down the large task of sorting into smaller sub-problems that are
    much easier given the following insight:

    Insight 1: If the list only contains 1 element, it's already sorted.
    Insight 2: If you have two lists that are already sorted, you can merge
               the two sorted lists to create a larger sorted list.
