In the "Little Army" prequel manga of Girls und Panzer, Miho knows that the StuG III her sister Maho is commanding in their practice battle against each other doesn't have a rotating turret, but she's aware that Maho knows she knows this. Maho then plans on setting an ambush, but Miho plans to ambush Maho first, which results in Maho taking the initiative and almost taking out Miho's tank. The battle ultimately concludes in a final exchange of shells, resulting in Maho just barely winning.

In Michael Flynn's Spiral Arm novel In the Lion's Mouth, Silky Voice suggests telling Ravn the truth, because there's an advantage in that they would know she knew what they knew.I mean my current shoe size. Not my shoe size when I was 5 years old. 57. Did I vote in the last election? On Peter Rabbit, Benjamin tries this in "Spectacular Sled", saying that he knew that Lily knew that Peter knew what they were going to do in terms of raiding Mr. McGregor's garden, but loses his train of thought about halfway through. Boyd: They must want to make us think that's where they want us to go, because they think we'll think we know they know we know, so we won't go! 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...
Know You Know I Know - TV Tropes I Know You Know I Know - TV Tropes
An FBI agent discussing a meeting he had with a Mafia boss described the situation: he met the boss at his business and congratulated him on going straight and staying away from the mob after an earlier prison sentence. The agent, of course, knew he was the family's boss. The boss knew the agent knew he was the family boss, and the agent knew the boss knew the agent knew. Thus they carried out a conversation where both were fully aware that while they were apparently talking about the legitimate business, both knew that wasn't what they were really talking about. 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.
When one team manages to figure out the second team's signals they'll usually try to only act on that knowledge at a critical point in the game. The second manager might intentionally allow them to try and steal the signal so at the critical point they think they know what's being planned. Which could cause paranoia in the first manager if the signal seemed too easy to steal, leading to suspicion of a setup. Which the second manager would know, so... The big reveal in Book XI of The Brothers Karamazov relies on this type of logic played seriously. You can almost see it coming when it is occurring at an earlier point in the novel (some hints are dropped that something is going on at either rate), but when you learn precisely what took place in one character's mind as a result of seemingly-irrelevant events, it forces you to re-evaluate everything else that has happened. Cerebus does this several times, usually involving Lord Julius, a Clown Prince of MagnificentBastardy. Astoria also does this to Cerebus even while chained to his dungeon wall. Studies of animal intelligence sometimes use this trope as an analogy to model a species' cleverness in social interaction. Humans are the only species known to be able to do five levels of I/you know/think, while other great apes seem able to manage four (e.g. they can bluff and be subtle about it so the other ape won't catch wise). Or maybe the apes are far better at it than humans.

Cory: Ohhhhh, you're a smug one aren't you George huh. You know you know, I know you know, I don't know how you know, but I know that you know.Loosely applies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe fic Because I Knew You; when Wanda Maximoff comes to New York to investigate the spell that erased all memory of Peter Parker ( Spider-Man: No Way Home), Peter tentatively recognises her as the Scarlet Witch when she introduces herself as his new neighbour, "Lizzie". However, since Peter believes she wouldn't remember him any more than anyone else, he doesn't bring it up, assuming that she's here on some mission for the Avengers, and Wanda doesn't correct his assumption even though she can read enough of his mind to know that he knows who she is, choosing to just offer him emotional support. Also in the regular series episode "Let's Kill Hitler", between the Doctor and River. Though it doesn't matter, because she's already poisoned him.
