Spooky :-) So you have "guess" containing the string from input(), and 
"guess_value" has the int.

Strange, this should work. Btw, "If" should be lower case "if".

Interesting. Can you put this:

  print("type(guess_value) =", type(guess_value))
  print("type(number) =", type(number))

above that line and run it again? Because I just ran your code here and it 
worked for me.

That's fine. The list is for help.
