Difficulty
Choose a difficulty level. These are based on the range of numbers you can guess from.
Easy: 1 to 10
Medium: 1 to 100
Hard -500 to 500
The harder the difficulty level, the more guesses you have to work with.
On easy, you have 5 tries.
On medium, you have 7 tries.
On hard, you have 10 tries.
Basic rules
Use the calculator on the right side of the screen to input your number.
Select the numbers.
Select clear to remove your guess and start over.
Select check to enter your guess.
Your hints come in the form of a table.
On one side is the numbers it is greater than, and on the other are the numbers it is less than.
Each time you make an incorrect guess, the game clues you in by saying how much bigger or smaller in value the real number is.
Use the table to narrow down your possible searches.
Strategy
Start with middling numbers based on the size of the range.
For the easy mode, this would be 5. For hard mode, this would be 0.
Doing so will automatically narrow down your search to a specific range of numbers.
For instance, in hard mode, if the number is greater than 0, it cannot be a negative.
In easy mode, meanwhile, if the number is less than 5, it could be anywhere between 1 and 4.
Keep halving the number range to find the narrowest possible range of potential guesses.
This process of elimination will help you conserve your tries.
If you know a hard mode number s greater than 0 use 250 as your next guess.
Depending on the result of that your next guess should be 125 or 375.
Each time you guess the remaining range gets cut roughly in half from 1,000, to 500, to 250, to 125, to 62, to 31, to 15, to 8, to 4, to 2.
When dealing with larger numbers, you will need as many free tries to refine your range.
