I poked around with a different, lazier version of the number guessing game which does a lot of checking.

Code:
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>

int main(){

	int counter=1, number=1, lasttry=1, looplimit=0;
	double increment=50, step=25;
	char choice[50];

	cout << "Input a number (1-100): ";
	cin >> number;

	while(increment!=number){
		lasttry=increment;
		if(increment>100||increment<1||looplimit>4){
			cout << "You cheated, you gotta tell me the truth son!\n";
			return 0;
		}
		cout << "You say the number isn't " << increment << ", so is it [H]igher or [L]ower than it? ";
		cin >> choice;
		if(choice[0]=='h' || choice[0]=='H'){
			increment+=step;
			if(lasttry==increment){
				increment++;
				looplimit++;
			}
			step/=2;
			step=floor(step);
			counter++;
		}
		else{
			increment-=step;
			if(lasttry==increment){
				increment--;
				looplimit++;
			}
			step/=2;
			step=floor(step);
			counter++;
		}
	}
	
	if(number==50){
		cout << "The computer instantly guessed that your number was 50.\n";
		return 0;
	}

	cout << "I guess the number you thought about is " << increment << ", and I WIN!\n";
	cout << "It took the computer a total of " << counter << " tries to guess your number.\n";

	return 0;
}
