Guess My Number Game

Mmm, I see your point.  When I've played the game the last
one is supposed to be "then it must be 7".  Here I finessed it
by assuming the player was a wit and chose a non-integer value.

With a bit more work I could make it test if numbers from
either side have been tested and abort early.

Yeah, I was smiling too when I wrote it.  It was more of a
"look at how leet my code is."  :)
