Very basic question. How do I start again?

Suggestion: Be up-front about this being a homework assignment. Most
of us can tell anyway, and it's more honest that way :)

So, since this is homework, I'm not going to give you the answer. What
I'll do is point you in the direction you need to go.

The most important problem isn't in your code, it's actually here:

> The program fails when guess=pick

In Python, a program doesn't simply fail. It might do the wrong thing
(in which case you should tell us both what it does and what you
expect it to do), or it might terminate with an exception traceback.
Those tracebacks are incredibly useful; when you're asking for help
with a failing program, pasting the entire traceback, including the
full error message, is extremely helpful.

In this case, though, what I'm seeing is that the program will
errantly keep looping when it gets it right. (Not infinitely as you
have the "count < 100" check, but it still loops more than it should.)
So what you need to do is tell it to stop looping when it gets the
right guess. Do you know how to do that?
