If you want it to stop after ten tries, this should read:
while a != b and c < 10:

I get the error "int object is not callable". This is because the line
should read:
           print "try number", c, "out of 10"

With the brackets in there Python thinks you are trying to call a function
c("out of 10"). But c isn't a function, so it complains.

Same here:
           print "try number", c, "out of 10"

> print "you got it in ",c," tries"

if a == b:
    print "you got it in", c, "tries"

(so it'll only say that if you did get it)
