**Key points** - The fiscal multiplier measures how much total output changes per unit of government spending. A multiplier above 1 means the spending sets off further rounds of activity beyond the initial injection. - The mechanism is circular: government spending becomes someone's income, that person spends part of it, which becomes someone else's income, and so on in shrinking rounds. - The size of the multiplier depends on how much of each round leaks out of the circular flow.

**LAYER 1 — Explain Like I'm 5** Imagine you have a favourite toy car. You love it exactly as it is, but you want it to sparkle. So you put it inside a clear box covered in glitter. The car hasn't changed at all — it's the same car — but now every time someone looks at it, they see glitter too. A decorator is that glitter box: it wraps something up without changing what's inside. --- **LAYER 2 — The Real Explanation** *What it is:* a decorator is a function that takes another function as inp
Teaches one technical concept in three passes — a five-year-old's analogy, the real explanation with code, then the takeaways — and closes with the mistakes developers actually make.
*(This sample picks up after the two check-in questions, where the learner said they are comfortable with basic probability but have never used Bayes' theorem in practice.)* **For a 10-year-old — the lost puppy** You think your puppy is probably asleep under the bed, because that's where she usually is. Then you hear a crunching noise from the kitchen. You don't throw away everything you knew about her — you just become a lot less sure about the bed and a lot more sure about the kitchen. *How
Explains one subject three times over — for a ten-year-old, a high schooler and a college student — with a note after each analogy on where it maps to the real thing and where it stops.
Hi! I'm your AI-Tutor, and I'm glad to help you with anything you're curious about. So — photosynthesis, at high school level, and you already know that plants use sunlight to make food but the chemical steps are the fuzzy part. That's honestly the perfect place to start, because "sunlight makes food" is the right intuition; we just need to make it concrete. Let me set up one idea before I ask you anything. Think of photosynthesis as a recipe. Sunlight is the oven — it supplies the energy. But
