Your code is buggy. It assumes that list.index() changes its starting point as
your for-loop iterates. However, the documented and correct behavior of
list.index() is that unless a *start* argument is provided, the search always
starts at position zero and returns the index of the first matching target
value:
>>> help(list.index)
Help on method_descriptor:
index(self, value, start=0, stop=9223372036854775807, /)
Return first index of value.
