# Guess
#
# From: Basic Computer Games (1978)
#
#  "In program Guess, the computer  chooses a random
#   integer between 0 and any limit and any limit you
#   set. You must then try to guess the number the
#   computer has choosen using the clues provideed by
#   the computer.
#    You should be able to guess the number in one less
#   than the number of digits needed to  represent the
#   number in binary notation - i.e. in base 2. This ought
#   to give you a clue as to the optimum search technique.
#    Guess converted from the original program in FOCAL
#   which appeared in the book "Computers in the Classroom"
#   by Walt Koetke of Lexington High School, Lexington,
#   Massaschusetts.

# Altough the introduction says that the computer chooses
# a number between 0 and any limit, it actually chooses
# a number between 1 and any limit. This due to the fact that
# for computing the number of digits the limit has in binary
# representation, it has to use log.
