Schrodinger's cat is a thought experiment challenging quantum superposition. Since I'm not great at physics, this is my by-retards-for-retards version:
1 - Some eggheads shines a light at a photoelectric material (basically a solar panel). They saw these two things: the higher frequency (how wavy the light is) the light, the higher the current (electron go fast.) The higher the intensity of the light, the higher the voltage produced (electron go harder.) This matched the light=wave idea pretty well, but they also noticed that, if the frequency was too low, then no voltage / current would be produced, even if intensity was high. If light was really just a wave, then keeping the light there for long enough would transfer enough energy to make some voltage / current.
2 - Some other egghead suggested that light is a discrete package of energy. If electrons can also only move up/down one discrete package of energy (depending on metal), then some frequencies can't move the electron up or down one level, so the photon is not absorbed and nothing happens. SO that solves it, right?
3 - But wait! They also shined a light at a board with two slits on it. If you do this with eaves, you get funny patterns on the wall behind it (called interference patterns), while if you do this with a bb gun, you just get two lines of holes. Light made funny patterns. This is weird, because if light is a particle, each particle then has to be taking more than one path at a time (eg, from both slits simultaneously, and canceling each other out).
4 - Imagine a box with a cat in it, and some magic device that can see where the photon is going If it goes left the cat isn't shot. If goes right, the cat is shot. Some dude said the photon can't be a particle, because then the cat is literally both dead and alive at the same time, since if we actually measure which way each photon goes, it either goes through the left slit, making a line of light on the left, and the cat lives, or it goes through the right slit, making a line on the right, and the cat dies. As far as we know, this is the reality - once you actually measure the photon's path (eg, give physical consequence to the path, not the eventual hitting of the wall), the cat is either alive or dead, but before you measure it, the cat is both, simultaneously.
Like the cat, any female is both in your league and out of your league simultaneously. If you measure her attractiveness as high and recognize that a lifetime of absurd privilege given due to her looks has made her utterly and basically unlike you, then her attractiveness collapses into "she's in your league", in that she has the same problems as you and she can understand you. If you measure her attractiveness as low, then her attractiveness collapses into "she's out of your league", because obviously you don't deserve her.
