Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
The easier illustrative example of this is from poker. Poker pros talk about this all the time.
Level 1: I know what's in my hand.
Level 2: I know what's in my opponent's hand.
Level 3: I know what my opponent thinks is in my hand.
Level 4: I know what my opponent thinks I think is in his hand.
Level 5: I know what my opponent thinks I think he thinks is in my hand.
Etc.
Many poker players never advance beyond level 2. Even pros have trouble getting beyond 5.
Normally people cite this when it comes to these types of recursive logic.
