hey i added another guessing feature that shuld guess the number in the 
most
effective  way
but i keep getting into endless loops thought you might want it
any help with the loops would be great

def number(number):
     ran=input("range  >")
     ran=ran+1
     from random import randrange
     guessed=[]
     guess=randrange(ran)
     print guess
     guessed.append(guess)
     guesses=1
     guessed=[]
     while guess !=number:
         guess=randrange(ran)
         if guess not in guessed:
             guessed.append(guess)
             guesses=guesses+1
             print guess

     print"i got the number",number,"in",guesses,"guesses"



def num(number):
     r=input("range >")
     ran=range(r+1)
     guess=r/2
     print guess
     guesses=1
     while guess!=number:
         if guess < number:
             guess= ((r-guess)/2)+guess
             print guess
             guesses=guesses+1
         elif guess > number:
             guess= ((r-guess)/2)-guess
             print guess
             guesses=guesses+1
     print "i got the number",number,"in",guesses,"guesses"
