Try having these 3 variables:
top, the top number that the secret number might be.
bottom, the lowest number that the secret number might be.
guess, the current guess.
if the guess is too high, then the value for guess should become your new
'top':
if guess > secret_number:
top = guess
If the guess is too low, do the opposite. 'bottom' should now be set to
guess
Now create a new value for guess using your new values for top and bottom,
and guess again.
