I Know You Know I Know	comment	Paranoia can be a funny thing. It seems no matter how well you've prepared or how you anticipate possible outcomes, there's always someone who could mess your plan up if only they knew about it. Ah, but how do you know they don't know? After all, they may just be acting like they don't know so you won't do anything different that they can't predict. This, inevitably, leads to the following paranoid rant: "Yes, but if they know I know they know, they may do (X) instead. But what if they know more than I think they know? They could be acting like they only know that I know they know, when in fact they know that I know they know I know they know!" Typical punchline: "...what was I doing again?"note Extra punchline: "I don't know." Something of an overblown version of the classic chess axiom "think three moves ahead", this is one of the most common sights in a duel of Chessmasters. A Gambit Roulette may also have them, as the level of paranoia necessary to pull one off suggests he's suspecting everyone of knowing and reacting accordingly. Of course, if there's a Gambit Pileup in the making, that attitude might be justified... May not feature the exact line, but often uses a scene where one character or the other remarks on how their opponent would react if they knew, and what they're doing in case that happens. In Real Life, humans are capable of keeping track of many degrees of what people know ("I know that he knows that she knows that they know that we know about the party..."), though even when taking the game seriously, they tend to find the string of "knowing" comical. I Know You Know I Know breaks down logically, and it obeys some rules. Here are the levels of deception, with examples: Level 0: absolute honesty, no deception. Level 1: X plays level 1 (hereafter abbreviated X(n)). X(1) has information that Y(0) does not, and utilizes this in a deception. Level 2: Y(2) knows that X(1) is playing a deception. Y(2) reacts accordingly. Level 3: X(3) knows that Y(2) is well aware of the deception, and thus plans for the outcome of the first deception being revealed. Level 4: Y(4) is aware of the above play, and knows that the logical reaction to finding out the deception will play right into X(3)'s hands. Thus, Y(4) plays around X(3). Level 5: X(5)'s entire deception is a deception, maybe meant only to engage Y(4). And so on, and so on. This chain can go on indefinitely. In the really hairy cases, one or more deceptions are being played parallel or maybe even in conjunction with one another, making the above-mentioned Gambit Pileup. From the second level on, the recipient of the deception (in this case Y) has two choices: either Y plays a counter-game so that the deception is revealed, or Y willingly plays the deception to X's logical conclusion. The first option will reveal Y to be playing a higher level, but will foil X's deception. The second option will let X fulfill the deception, but will not reveal Y's level. Reaction from Y is crucial, as this separates Y from a player of equal level to X. If that was the case, Y would simply be aware of the deception but unable to act upon it. In reacting, Y steps it up a level. Of course, with each rise in level, the below levels become meaningless, so this gambit only works if X is not playing an even higher level, in which case Y would either be playing into X's hands or letting X win. X also runs the risk of misjudging Y's level. If Y is playing a higher level than anticipated, then the deception is, as mentioned above, meaningless. If Y is playing a lower level, then X will be Crazy-Prepared but never engaged on the higher levels, which may leave X Properly Paranoid. When the Kansas City Shuffle occurs, the mark (X) is at level 2 and thinks the con (Y) is at level 1, when actually the con is at level 3. Applying the trope in competitive multiplayer games gives you the Metagame. Initially, competing players of a particular video game will be playing the game more or less as the developers intended, using mechanics and strategies that the developers themselves had foreseen and anticipated (or observed through pre-release playtesting). Over time, players will discover quirks of the game rules, exploits of the game's engine, or unexpected strategies, any combination of which gives them a competitive advantage - but only so long as these quirks, exploits or strategies are not widely known. Eventually, the existing quirks, exploits or strategies become common knowledge and players come up with countermeasures to overcome them, and in turn must find new exploits or strategies which the other players hadn't anticipated. After enough iterations of this pattern, high-level play between experienced players can look completely different from ordinary play between novices. See also most instances of the Poisoned Chalice Switcheroo and Double Reverse Quadruple Agent. Frequently a consideration in Feed the Mole. In many an Absurdly High-Stakes Game this will take the form of a (often internal) monologue. Sometimes circumvented by making a completely random (Heads or Tails?), unrelated, or unexpected move, which is where the Indy Ploy might come in handy. Usually results in an Overly Long Gag. Frequently ends with an "I Didn't See That Coming". May result in Archive Binge-like behavior when plans are laid for both eventualities, and then for both of those eventualities, and then all four of those, and then all sixteen... This may develop into a Gambit Roulette if it hasn't done so already. When someone outwits themselves via this trope due to overestimating someone else's intelligence, it may be the result of the other person being Too Dumb to Fool. Not to be confused with "I Know I Know I Know" or the theme song to Psych (though the latter is an example).

I Know You Know I Know / int_109f7814	comment	Invoked in Sherlock's "A Study in Pink". The assassin tempts Sherlock into a battle of wits involving two identical pills: one poisoned, the other harmless. He tries to lure Sherlock in with this form of logic, but Sherlock refuses the terms of the argument, knowing that no matter what choice he makes, the odds of success are still 50/50. He takes a third option and is ready to walk away from the whole thing, but the assassin pulls a pistol on him and threatens to shoot if he doesn't choose. Sherlock then deduces what the other victims didn't, that the gun is a fake, but gets lured back to the table anyway because he has to know if he can win. And the twist of it is, the show never says if he made the right choice.

The Baron Harkonnen discusses this trope with his nephew in his introductory chapter, calling it "plans within plans within plans."

Naturally, Aku cheats, as Jack knew he would and so prepared for by bringing his sword and hiding it. But Aku knew Jack would know that he cheated, and had a minion find the sword. But Jack knew that Aku knew that Jack knew that Aku would cheat, so he planted a decoy sword. But Aku knew that Jack knew that Aku knew that Jack knew that Aku would cheat, so he had his minions look for more swords.

Lampshaded in the theme song, in fact, it's (almost) the name of the theme song. It's also unclear who the "you" addressed in the lyrics "I know you know that I'm not telling the truth/I know you know you just don't have any proof" is. Lassiter? Vick? Jules? Henry? The audience? Also, there have been some very high-stress or time-sensitive moments where Shawn doesn't even bother to try and make his psychic schtick look plausible in front of Vick, which implies that she operates on I'll Pretend I Didn't Hear That (plus her no-nonsense, down-to-earth persona makes her steadfast reliance on Shawn's vibes seem very out-of-place).

Former con-artist Moist von Lipwig has retrieved his buried stash of ill-gotten gains, intending to use it to rebuild the Post Office, and claimed it was a gift from the various gods he "prayed" to. When confronted about it by the patrician Lord Vetinari, Moist has this internal dialogue: Vetinari plays a subtle form of this game off-screen. His mail packets to and from Uberwald are always clearly tampered with, and his semaphore transmissions are always intercepted. This is all as expected, and he encrypts his communiques with codes that are almost but not quite unbreakable. He could come up with a cypher no one else on the Disc could break, but that would be far less useful. This way, only his most resourceful rivals (specifically, Lady Margolotta) can read his messages, and then he knows exactly what they think he knows.

Eastal desperately needs the Adventurers' superior military abilities, but they don't want to appear vulnerable, lest they make themselves out to be weak. The Round Table Conference, meanwhile, wants to help but don't want to make it seem like they are subservient or inferior to Eastal, lest the Eastal nobility think they can order the Adventurers around whenever they want. And of course, each side of the discussion is aware of the other side's agenda, and the fact that the other side knows their agenda. What follows is a complex and delicate battle of Verbal Judo between the two powers as they try to be allies while saving face.

I Know You Know I Know / int_28fe1376	comment	Shows up in Fringe with Milo Stanfield, a savant who can predict the future enough to cause accidents to kill people set off by dropping a pen. It's impossible for Fringe Division to outthink him, because if they try, he'll predict it, and if they predict he'll predict it and choose a different option, he'll predict that too. Astrid describes the situation with at least six recursions of "he'll predict that we predict". The ultimate solution comes because he didn't know Olivia was actually an alternate universe version of herself implanted with that universe's memories (she didn't even know that), which meant she had a slower reaction to a warning alarm common in that universe but not her own. Thus screwing up his plans long enough for him to be captured.

He knows what the ideal weapon is for the circumstances—but also knows that the enemies would know what that ideal weapon is, and could use countermeasures. So instead, he comes up with four pretty-good weapons which would each require different countermeasures, and rolls a die to pick which one to use. (The enemies would be able to predict that he'd do that, too, but they wouldn't know which way the die came up.)

So everyone knows that the Saloi are trying to deceive them in the knowledge that they will assume everything the Saloi say is an attempt to deceive them. The ultimate example is their leader, who is obviously a figurehead for his senior advisor except he isn't, he's actually the leader.

Red Mage parodies this trope in this comic to reach the conclusion that he actually knows how to cast Life 3, despite stating in the same sentence the fact that he knows that he can't. Red Mage used Right for the Wrong Reasons, except he should be wrong. But somehow it works.

I Know You Know I Know / int_3e4d48d5	comment	Food Wars!: In the Fall Classic tournament, Subaru Mimasaka defeats Takumi Aldini by doing the exact same dish (a semifreddo), taking it just one step further to improve on it, and he'd even planned for Takumi trying to improvise on the spot. He tries to do it on Soma, who is confident enough that he can win that he even tells Mimasaka the dish he plans to prepare (beef stew) to make his job even easier, and even counts on Mimasaka pulling it off. What Mimasaka didn't expect, however, was that Soma would continue to try and make improvements to his dish up to the moment their match began, so his own improvements weren't enough to counter Soma's. In essence, where Mimasaka tried to go only one step ahead of the original dish, Soma decided to go ten. In the Regiment de Cuisine, Takumi's match with Etsuya Eizan (who used to be Mimasaka's boss) is essentially a battle of this. Eizan's strategy is to make his dish with artichokes to afflict the judges' tastebuds for when they try Takumi's dish. Takumi, having learned from his defeat with Mimasaka, knew from the moment they were picking the ingredients from the storage room that Eizan would use artichokes and thus picked his own ingredients accordingly. Takumi knew that Eizan had won most of his recorded Shokugekis by making a dish that would interfere with his rivals', but he also knew he couldn't make one that would interfere with his own teammates' dishes in the following bouts. Eizan's face afterwards is priceless.

Terezi expects Vriska to call her bluff, by making the coin land on "go" and then turning to leave. Vriska does precisely that, expecting that Terezi won't have the stomach to stab her in the back. This is even lampshaded by Doc Scratch, who narrates their fight. In the end, Terezi's Seer of Mind power shows her exactly how bad not stabbing Vriska would be, and she goes through with it.

(Barring the occasions when Miyuki loses her patience and knocks him unconscious, after which they return to their usual deception...until it happens again.) Luckily, their upbringing as members of the Yotsuba family has amply prepared them for this sort of thing.

Joker can voice a similar suspicion of him, which Akechi is startled by, but dismisses as a bluff. Akechi's habit of doing this comes back to bite him when he joins the team as The Mole, because by then he'd dropped enough hints for them to realize that he's the Black Mask who'd been spying on them in the Metaverse since the second palace, and set up a Gambit Roulette to trick him into thinking he'd defeated them.

I Know You Know I Know / int_5e150650	comment	Showed up in some parts of the metagame for second edition Exalted combat. Keyword effects (basically, status ailments that fell under a specific subgrouping) were often pretty nasty, so people would pick up keyword defenses (things that nullify or grant immunity to effects with a given keyword for a time) so as to not get hit with those, or just find ways to not get hit in the first place. Since people would just pick up these defenses, people often wouldn't bother trying to use keyword effect charms because they'd just be canceled, and in some cases the defense was actually cheaper to use than the thing it canceled (and many defenses lasted a while once up). Some people figured they could save on EXP by not picking up these keyword defenses because if people assumed any keyword effect they used would just get canceled then they wouldn't bother using keyword effects, and that in the few cases where they were used, simply not being hit in the first place would suffice as a way to avoid it. Works fine as an I Know You Know I Know cycle in most cases; gets a bit tricky when the supposedly weaker splats start throwing out even nastier keyword effects that aren't reliant on hitting someone directly. The fact that Dragon-Blooded add another level to the deception has been a rude awakening for more than one player.

He labelled a section of his mind as 'porn' just because he knew Mantis would suspect he was using that section to hide sensitive information, and instead filled it with some rather depraved things. Raven lampshades it at that point. He eventually states that his entire existence is based on this trope, which is what makes him both such an exceptional spy and a pain in the ass.

The reason for this is that the A.I. running the dark ships is based on the public's perception of Geary via the "Black Jack" legend, which is still close enough to the truth to make this work.

I Know You Know I Know / int_7559ae0b	comment	The Dune series is renowned for its incredibly intricate layers-upon-layers of this kind of gambit. The first book alone features a subverted Red Herring Mole (someone suspected of being a traitor who is both too obvious to be the real mole as well as Beneath Suspicion, but actually turns out to be the traitor), followed by an elaborate mind game played by Thufir Hawat to set the Harkonnens against one another, and capped with Paul successfully bluffing and counter-bluffing the combined forces of the Bene Gesserit, the Imperium, and the Spacing Guild. The Baron Harkonnen discusses this trope with his nephew in his introductory chapter, calling it "plans within plans within plans." Dune Messiah continues the pattern, only this time it's Paul's enemies pulling The Plan aimed at forcing him to choose between his beloved and his Imperium. He knows they are doing this, but falls into the trap anyway, only to be rescued from it by the son who will later replace him as the most powerful prophet in the universe. Children of Dune sets up a three or four-way struggle for control of the Imperium, with the demon-possessed Alia on one side, the Bene Gesserit on another, the remnants of the Corrinos as a third, and an unknown quantity in the form of Paul's children, Leto and Ghanima. Leto is captured by people whom he believes to be working for the Bene Gesserit, only to have it turn out that Alia is secretly calling the shots. He himself, however has a deeper plan that eventually trumps all of theirs and renders them moot. God-Emperor of Dune not only has this essentially as a plot, right up to and including his own death, but Leto also lampshades it frequently. Heretics of Dune has this played between the Bene Gesserit, Bene Tleilax and Honored Matres. The Bene Gesserit outplay the other two powers resulting in the Honored Matres destroying Tleilax and Rakis, the latter very much just as planned. This continues between the Bene Gesserit and Honored Matres in Chapterhouse: Dune with the former having to use their knowledge and cunning to outmaneuver the latter's greater physical force. Parodied mercilessly in National Lampoon's Doon, where two characters have a half-hour long conversation without either knowing what the other is talking about.

I Know You Know I Know / int_8ba4613a	comment	Death Note: This is pretty much the name of the game from the time L shows up. So, all of it, really. It might as well be called I Know You Know I Know: The Manga Series. Especially when L and Light start working together to catch Kira, who is actually Light. L was always slightly better at the up close and personal mindgames, but Light fared better in the end. Humorously lampshaded somewhat early on, when L challenges Light to a friendly tennis match. The two of them both start long, intricate inner monologues about how they can psychoanalyze the other based on their behavior during the match, even when they know the other already knows they'll be doing this and will be acting accordingly... by the match's end, they both conclude that there's too much knowing going on, and that neither can deduce anything significant about the other based on the match. The series finale may be the largest example of this anywhere. Light and Near are somewhere around eight layers deep into this, both of them believing that they are one step ahead of the other. There's an entertaining panel in the manga where other characters witnessing a "conversation" between Light and Near begin to wonder why neither of them are saying anything.

I Know You Know I Know / int_9d34190a	comment	In The Elder Scrolls series' backstory, during the Alessian Revolt, this plays out in a bizarre, metaphysical way between Akatosh, the draconic God of Time and chief deity of the Aedra, and Pelinal Whitestrake, the physical manifestation ("Shezarrine") of the spirit of the "dead" creator god, Lorkhan, who was sent to be Alessia's divine "champion" in her war against the (primarily) Daedra-worshiping Ayleids. Pelinal was aware that Akatosh knew just how insane he was and could always feel Akatosh's burning gaze upon him. Crosses over with Teeth-Clenched Teamwork for Akatosh and Rage Against the Heavens for Pelinal, as Pelinal, being a Shezarrine, is the physical incarnation of Lorkhan's soul. During the creation of Mundus, the mortal plane, Lorkhan convinced/tricked (depending on the storyteller) the et'Ada ("original spirits") who would become the Aedra (including Akatosh) into sacrificing large portions of their divine power to create Mundus. In revenge for this perceived treachery, the Aedra killed Lorkhan, tore out his "divine center" (heart), and cast it down into the world he created where his spirit would be forced to wander. Akatosh considered it a "moment of weakness" when he went with Lorkhan's plan to create Mundus and likely still harbors a grudge. When Pelinal went too far in one of his berserker fits of rage and damaged the lands themselves, Akatosh and the other divines nearly left Mundus in disgust until they were placated by Alessia. To quote The Song of Pelinal:

Kyousuke wants to save hundreds of people whose lives are being maintained by a reactor, somewhere in the building. However, he first has to survive a fight with the White Queen. The White Queen wants to break his mind, which could be accomplished by killing said people. She stabs one of her swords into the floor and proposes that Kyousuke uses it, since it is the only means he has of putting up a fight against her. He refuses, suspecting it's a trap. But then the Queen reveals that stabbing the sword into the floor caused a chain reaction that destroyed the reactor keeping the people alive. She made the offer knowing full well that Kyousuke would reject it, so that he'd break under the realisation that his own decision condemned the people he'd been trying to save. Except Kyousuke then reveals he expected this, as he knew the Queen would never give him any way out. He also reveals that he knew the building's designer had (due to personal preference) slightly changed the layout of the building from the optimum, so the Queen's attack had missed the reactor.

I'll just use Thunderbolt to exploit your 4x weakness to electricity! But you know I'll do that. So you'll switch in a ground type that will be immune, so I should use Surf. But you know that I know that you know, so you'll leave in Gyarados, letting it soak up the not-very-effective hit in exchange for hitting me with Giga Impact; therefore, I should use Thunderbolt after all. But you know that I know that you know that I know, so you'll switch out, and— The opponent is in the exact same situation because you could Take a Third Option: switch out yourself into say a Grass-type that could handle either Water or Electric (and other options exist, so unless all of the opponent's Pokemon have already been revealed, you never know what may be brought out next). Rotation battles, giving you three PokÃ©mon and the ability to switch which one is in front and able to attack and be attacked in your turn, uses this even more so as your attack could end up hitting one of three PokÃ©mon and you never really know which one. This is naturally the best feature of the battle variety.

I Know You Know I Know / int_bb467262	comment	Played with in Asterix and the Soothsayer - Prolix the Soothsayer is a fake and knows nothing. When he gets arrested by the Romans because soothsaying is illegal, he correctly predicts how a dice would fall, and hastily protests that if he'd known that he wouldn't have said it. As the question of whether he's really a soothsayer becomes more and more complicated (because the centurion wants to believe the predictions about himself becoming Emperor, while insisting to his optio (adjunct) that it's okay to work with him because he's a fake), increasingly convoluted versions of this logic are applied to every prediction he makes, whether it's accurate or not. (At one point, the optio tries the dice test again, and he gets it wrong, prompting the centurion to tell Prolix not to get too clever, or even the optio might suspect something.)

Every minute or so, a time "wave" occurs so any changes you made to that last big fight will be etched into the game and your opponent will have a chance to fix it or leave it. Or maybe you just pretended to change it, and he sends troops back to fight what he thought you sent back. But then, you did send stuff back, but maybe not to there, so he doesn't know that you know that he knows you sent troops back. Or does he?

After they leave... The one-off comedy special The Curse of Fatal Death has the Doctor and the Master engaging in a round of this. Since both have access to time machines, it quickly gets complicated.. ("624 years in a sodding sewer!") In "Let's Kill Hitler", between the Doctor and River. Though it doesn't matter, because she's already poisoned him. In the Big Finish audio "The Rosemariners", at one point the Doctor's companion Zoe Heriot ends up in a variant of this situation when she has to pretend to be a communications officer on a space station while working with Colbert, a copy of a dead officer who's working for the current villains. Zoe muses that both she and Colbert are trying to hide the fact that they don't know anything about these systems from each other, but the difference is that she knows Colbert doesn't know anything about these systems, whereas he assumes that she does know what she's doing.

I Know You Know I Know / int_cb6abea3	comment	One episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! does this word-for-word, during Joey's battle with Yugi. He gives a long internal monologue about whether or not the card Yugi placed down (hidden within his Magical Hats, which were already protecting his Dark Magician) was a trap card or if that was too obvious... "Aw, forget it, I'm just gonna attack." (He hit an empty hat, then his follow-up found the face-down... which really was a trap cardnote Spellbinding Circle, to be exact) This exact scenario, with whatever permutations, has gone on in in the mind of every person who has played the game in real life, at least once. In the duel between Yugi and Atem, both know the cards of their opponent and much of the match is spent guessing what the other likely played and how to counter it, and even tricking them into countering it for a better return. Any duel involving Crow becomes this for his opponent, sometimes because he makes it a point to flaunt his foolproof strategy (which actually works) and sometimes because his opponents think too much.

I Know You Know I Know / int_d4e486c7	comment	Dota 2: The Techies are known and feared for being able to create invisible minefields, which can take off a huge portion of your health or even instantly kill you if you step on them. This can be used to invoke this trope: you can choose to put mines in a high-traffic area, where enemies are likely to step on them. But a savvy opponent will predict that, and take a different path instead. So you could choose to instead mine that path. To further increase the confusion, Techies can also place a minefield warning sign. Is the sign honestly warning you, or is it a trick to make you take the other path and get blown up there? These dilemmas can both be solved by putting down a Sentry Ward or buying a Gem of Truesight, which reveals the invisible mines so you can destroy them. But if the Techies buy Aghanim's Scepter, the minefield gains an additional ability: mines placed withing a small radius of it can not be revealed at all, even with truesight. Are you still willing to take that chance and walk through what may be a minefield? Or will you take the detour?

In particular, the defeat of Tonegawa in the first season is based on Kaiji's realization of when Tonegawa will stop knowing he knows. Tonegawa's observant enough to notice that two of Kaiji's cards are bloodstained on the back, and clever enough to realize that Kaiji has to know the cards are bloodstained. From there, Tonegawa assumes that Kaiji set a simple trap, bloodstaining cards other than the ones Tonegawa thought he had out, so as to trick him into playing the wrong card and losing. But because Tonegawa thinks he's better and smarter than lower-class gamblers like Kaiji, it doesn't occur to him that Kaiji would realize that Tonegawa would realize this, and that the cards are exactly the ones he initially thought they were.

Gary, knowing that Paul's Torterra, his strongest PokÃ©mon, can use Stealth Rock, prepares in advance with a couple of PokÃ©mon to prevent him from setting it up. However, Paul anticipated that he'd try this, so he countered by switching Torterra out and send out a different PokÃ©mon to crush Gary's. While the battle isn't shown in full (at least in the main story, a later interlude shows the rest of it), it's later revealed that Gary lost, badly. In Chapter 37, Ash has his seventh badge match against Blaine. Having fought Janine before, Ash tried to plan in advance for the possible scenarios Blaine could throw at him, including the possibility of using a PokÃ©mon who could put his team to sleep and set up Stealth Rock. Over the course of the battle, Blaine reveals that he usually would use a Magcargo with that very strategy, but to fight Ash he chose a different Magcargo with a different moveset and the ability Weak Armor to capitalize on Primeape's landing blows. While Ash ultimately wins the battle, it turns out much harder than he expected.

I Know You Know I Know / int_e650c1d4	comment	Proper Poker strategy, especially at higher levels, requires this kind of thinking and trying to stay one step ahead of your opponent(s). At its highest levels, the whole thing can get ridiculous, break down, and require game theory to come up with an ideal solution. Notably, it's also important to be playing exactly one level higher than your opponent but no more. There's no point playing at level 2 (Trying to work out what cards your opponent has) if they are only playing at level 0 (i.e. without looking at their cards) and there's no point playing at level three (manipulating your table image to convince your opponent you have certain cards) if your opponent is playing at level 1 (only looking at their cards without trying to work out what you have).

The man, commenting that that changes the game, explains that he has just detonated the explosive in his partner's head, probably killing a few of his interrogators. Widow, saying that that changes the game, explains that she is still going to take this man in for questioning, though now she will make sure to hurt him while doing so. The hijacker, after commenting that that changes the game, explains that he is now crashing the shuttle to stop her. After that the game stops changing and Widow just beats the tar out of the man, but you have to wonder what game they started with and what they were playing when they finished.

During their final confrontation, the two are so evenly matched, they're brought to a high-speed standstill and allows Sonic to give the highly meme-tastic line:

I Know You Know I Know / int_f458bbcc	comment	In Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, Harry learns methods of deception at higher levels, such that this becomes invoked. If you want to pretend that you do (or don't) know something, then instead of acting the way that you would if you really knew, you have to act the way that you think they think you would act if you really did (or didn't) know. You can fool a simple person by pretending you know everything and then subtly fishing for clues. And you can make them think you don't know anything, by making an obvious show of fishing for clues. But you have to anticipate that a higher level player could realise that you're only pretending to bluff, when in fact you really did know all along. Harry successfully pulls this off in his first interaction with Lucius Malfoy, quite possibly by accident. When Lucius makes veiled references, Harry responds by playing along... badly. His deception is so obvious that Lucius sees through it almost immediately. Then Lucius starts to think it was too easy - Harry must have been only pretending to be a fool that pretended to understand. He says as much, and walks away, apparently confident that his original message was conveyed. Meanwhile, Harry doesn't have the faintest clue what's going on. His new friend Draco's response to this? Screaming horror. Later on Harry gets so into the habit of doing this that it makes it hard to lie to honest people. Among Slytherins multi-level bluffs and counterbluffs using Exact Words and very precise phrasing is played like a sport and Harry excels at it, but to anyone else the resulting stilted conversation comes off as incredibly suspicious. What level does Professor Quirrell play at? "One level higher than you."

Michael, having started to become much more enlightened as to Carla's objectives and methods, begins to spy on her. Unfortunately, as he points out, he can't do anything different because it would clue her in to the fact that he already knows a little of what's going on.

I Know You Know I Know / int_f53fe2fa	comment	Mission: Impossible episodes that pit the team against a rival intelligence agency often involve this as part of a Kansas City Shuffle. In one episode, Phelps pretended to be a traitor who sold the location of four key SAC bases to the Russians. But since the Russians figured out that he was really an American intelligence officer and not the agent employed by a burned Russian spy that he claimed to be, they knew that the locations he gave were where the Americans wanted the Russians to think the bases were, and thus disregarded the locations as fake. But Phelps knew that they knew this (And had in fact arranged for them to figure this out), which is why he gave them the real locations of the bases, thus ensuring that the Russians would never look in those cities for the bases ever again.

I Know You Know I Know / int_f6c05e8e	comment	In an episode of Friends, "The One Where Everyone Finds Out", Phoebe and Rachel find out about Monica and Chandler's secret relationship, and something of an arms race begins regarding whether or not "they know we know they know we know!" Joey gets caught in the middle (since he's known for a while), and eventually throws up his hands when he can't keep track of who knows what. When Rachel and Phoebe order him not to tell Chandler and Monica, he exclaims: "Couldn't if I wanted to!". Rachel had previously used this technique to trick Joey into admitting that he knew about Chandler and Monica too. She asks Joey to go and fetch a book from Chandler's room, knowing that he and Monica were in there. When Joey refuses Rachel comes out with this tongue twister of a response: After Rachel almost peeks at the folder with their baby's sex in it, she tells Ross she's warming up to the name Ruth for a girl.

I Know You Know I Know / int_fa5e90fd	comment	When dealing with conspiratorial spy-types, it's always important to keep track of who knows what, and how they know it. City of Heroes plays with this by having the character knowingly sent into a trap, just to cause confusion among the enemy. City of Heroes loves this, especially with scanner/newspaper missions. Villains (or heroes) will call out your character for a fight, set an ambush, and attempt to take you down. The fact that you know it's an ambush in no way deters you from walking right into it, but, in spite of insurmountable odds, you always eventually walk out too.
