Explain [CONCEPT] at five levels, one after another. Use this format, which shows how the explanation changes:

LEVEL 1 - Age 8 (about 60 words): uses a simple everyday comparison and no technical terms.
LEVEL 2 - Teenager (about 80 words): adds the main rule or mechanism with one example.
LEVEL 3 - First-year university student (about 100 words): introduces the proper terms and says why they matter.
LEVEL 4 - Practitioner (about 100 words): covers complications, trade-offs, and typical mistakes.
LEVEL 5 - Expert (about 100 words): covers open questions, edge cases, and where the common explanations are wrong or oversimplified.

After each level, add one line starting "Added at this level:" that names only the new idea.

My current level is [MY_LEVEL] and I want to understand [CONCEPT] well enough to [GOAL]. After the five levels, tell me which level I should start at, give me three questions to check my understanding, and mention one claim from the simpler levels that becomes false or misleading at higher levels.

Topic: inflation.
LEVEL 1 (age 8): "When prices go up, the same coin buys a bit less candy than before." Added at this level: prices rising over time.
LEVEL 2 (teenager): "Inflation is the average rise in prices. If it is 3% a year, a 100 game costs 103 next year." Added: percentage and example.
LEVEL 3 (first-year student): measured with a price index, CPI. Added: the proper term and measure.
LEVEL 4 (practitioner): causes include demand, costs, and expectations; central banks respond with interest rates. Added: trade-offs.
LEVEL 5 (expert): measurement problems (substitution, quality), and why expectations can be self-fulfilling.
Misleading simplification: "prices go up because money is printed" is only part of the story at higher levels.
