# More BIT/S

This program is a game I call ‘SECRET NUMBER.’ The computer holds a secret number whose value is anywhere between 0 and 50. You have to guess that number by using messages as cross references. As you enter a guess (input a number) the computer gives you a clue as to the general area of the secret number.
