The Guess the Number Game is a classic brain-teaser designed to test your logic and luck. The rules are simple: first, the computer secretly picks a random number. After that, your goal is to guess that number in as few attempts as possible. With each guess, you’ll receive a hint telling you whether your answer was too high or too low. As a result, you can use these clues to narrow down the possibilities and pinpoint the correct number. Indeed, it’s a fantastic exercise for logical deduction.

While luck plays a part, a good strategy can certainly improve your chances. For instance, the most effective method is the “binary search” approach. Start by guessing the number in the middle of the range (e.g., 50 for a 1-100 range). If the hint says “too high,” then you instantly know the number is between 1 and 49.

Following this logic, your next guess should be in the middle of that new, smaller range (e.g., 25). By always guessing the midpoint, you eliminate half of the remaining possibilities with every single attempt. Ultimately, this makes it the fastest way to find the hidden number and win the game.
