The system randomly generates a number. Players input a number to make a guess, and the system provides real-time feedback: "Too high", "Too low", or "Correct guess". There is no limit on the number of attempts. The goal is to find the answer in the fewest tries, which is a fun way to exercise your reasoning skills
