Unfortunately, a computer, with a skill Genius, uses that type of
tips and tricks, too.

How to get better score?
1. When computer guesses a number, he uses yours and his failed
attempts. Based on this knowledge he can guess a targeted number
easier. You ca do that, too.
2. Each attempt of guessing a target number brings points. As closer
an attempt is, as more points you get. But, only extremely close
attempts of guessing bring more points.
If you get more than one point, that means you are extremely close
to the target number, and with an easy calculation you can guess what
target number is. When you guess a number you have to take caution
not to enter in a range og getting points, because Genius will beat
you immediately.You have to create your own strategy against an AI.
Computer can play as Abacus, Calculator or Genius.
Is an AI reality?
An Abacus is the worst of the three types of players and he is easy
to beat. He has very low intelligence, and his tries have no logic.
In case you have been beaten from the Abacus, believe me, it was PURE
ACCIDENT.
The Calculator, as a second type of intelligence, can remember last
five failed tries and on that basis he will try to get closer to targeted
number. The Calculator won't beat you very often, but it Happens sometimes.
The Genius is a strongest player on the list and different of the
previous players because he can use any tips and tricks you can, in
order to guess a targeted number. His power is equal as humans and
to beat him you have to build your own strategy. Don't be disappointed
with Genius's victories.
