Edward learned it like this:

  1. Player picks a number between X and Y
  2. Computer guesses half way between X and Y
  3. Player says higher or lower
  4. Computer sets X to the guessed number if player says higher, or Y to the guessed number of player says lower
  5. Computer guesses half way between X and Y
  6. Repeat until the number is found or the computer runs out of tries

Have fun! :)

Kinda like Binary search works.

Exactly like how binary search works. Ed learned this game as a prelude to more general binary searching.
