Guess My Number Game

[F. GEIGER]

*Many* years ago I owned a TI 58C pocket calculator (anyone remember
these?). It had the game you speak about built into its rom. It used
bisection: You had to choose a number and than tell the computer if the
number it guessed was less than or greater than or equal the one you had
chosen.
