Step 4: Identifying the Ideal Number of Hidden Layers

After carefully calibrating the necktie's internal resistance, it's time to consider the number of hidden layers.

Too few hidden layers, and our neural network will be as useful as a one-layer cake at a family reunion.

On the other hand, too many hidden layers, and it'll be as confusing as a recursive Russian matryoshka doll.

But fear not, dear network engineer! Our trusty Feature Extraction Guide is here to help you navigate the delicate balance of hidden layers.

For now, let's assume we're looking at a nice, manageable 3-5 hidden layers. Let's see what happens with 3 hidden layers, or let's go all-in with 5.
