Forgot to blog this yesterday was too tired

Guess my body too weak to chiong maple liao x.x

The programming was kinda easy for me, I also edited my code to quite a large extent because adding of improvements.

Edited code of Guessing Game :

from random import randint

ans = randint(1,99)
low = 1
high = 99
guess = ' '
tries = 0

while (guess != ans):
    if (guess) == '0':
        exit()

    guess = raw_input("Guess the number between " + `low` + " and " + `high` + ": (Enter 0 to exit game)")
    tries += 1

    guess = guess.lower()
    if (guess) == 'cheats':
        print "Answer is " + `ans`
        guess = raw_input("Guess the number between " + `low` + " and " + `high` + ": (Enter 0 to exit game)")

    try:
        guess = int(guess)
        if guess < 1 or guess > 99:
            print "Please enter between 1 to 99"
            guess = raw_input("Guess the number between " + `low` + " and " + `high` + ": (Enter 0 to exit game)")

    except:
        print "Please enter between 1 to 99"
        guess = raw_input("Guess the number between " + `low` + " and " + `high` + ": (Enter 0 to exit game)")

    if guess > ans:
        if guess < high:
            high = guess

    elif guess < ans:
        if guess > low:
            low = guess

print "Well done!"
print "The answer is "+ `ans` + "!"
print "You took " + `tries` + " tries"

if tries <= 5:
    print "Wow, you're really lucky!"
elif tries > 5 and tries <= 10:
    print "Not bad, quite lucky~"
else:
    print "Nice effort, you might be luckier on next game!"
