Hi Chuck 1. Missing an int(.. on one of the guess=
print "You have", counter, " chances left to guess the number." guess = int(raw_input("Your guess is ")) Thus ensuring guess is consistent with it content type 2. Need a break when the guess=num if guess == num: print "You guessed the number, ", num, " in ", counter-6, " guesses!" break To stop from looping in the while when counter is NOT zero but the number has been found. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
