# Reversed Guessing Game:
# The computer will guess at a number selected at random by the user.

# User selects a number
# While the computer has not gotten the answer right:
        # guess in the middle (50)  (((max - min) / 2) + min)
        # if the answer is higher guess the middle (75)
        # else guess the middle (25)
        # repeat.
