can someone with guessing a number

[abhilash pp]

Gary,
  There is a problem in using this sys.exit()
if you are working in windows IDLE, then it will ask you for an 'exit
altogether'

so either change your 'while' clause or restructure your whole program to
fit your idea :-) to avoid failed and success messages together

cheers ,
