Oh, wow, nice job!!! That’s what I call a nested for loop + if statement. 😀
I haven’t tested it but my first thought was that this probably can be made shorter by using Python’s switch + case syntax. (I haven’t written any tutorial about it yet.)

Great job again, and thanks for sharing it, Balazs!

This age founding program is cool. And it inspired me to do some similar program too.
I created a program which is able to find out which county do you live in Hungary.
For the first question I give the answer scenarios, the rest of them yes-no questions.
I know it is not a sophisticated one, and it is easy, but I enjoy the work on it!
The for loop is for the wrong answers, but if you give a wrong answer you have to start it over.
Here is the code:

for i in range(1,4):
    answer=input('Do you live in Pest County? (Possible answers: correct, to the west, to the east, to the south) ')
    if answer=='correct':
        print('Good for you!')
    elif answer=='to the south':
        print('You live in Bács-Kiskun County.')
        break
    elif answer=='to the west':
        answer1=input('Do you live in the northern part of this region? (yes, no) ')
        if answer1=='yes':
            answer2=input('Do you live in a county which is next to the eastern border of the country? (yes, no) ')
            if answer2=='yes':
                answer3=input('Do you live in the western part of this part? (yes, no) ')
                if answer3=='yes':
                    print('You live in Győr-Moson-Sopron County.')
                    break
                elif answer3=='no':
                    print('You live in Komárom-Esztergom County.')
                    break
                else:
                    print('Wrong answer.') 
            elif answer2=='no':
                answer4=input('Do you live in a county which is next to the western border of the country? (yes, no) ')
                if answer4=='yes':
                    print('You live in Vas County.')
                    break
                elif answer4=='no':
                    answer5=input('Do you live next to Pest County? (yes, no)')
                    if answer5=='yes':
                        print('You live in Fejér County.')
                        break
                    elif answer5=='no':
                        print('You live in Veszprém County')
                        break
                    else:
                        print('Wrong answer.')
            else:
                print('Wrong answer.')
        elif answer1=='no':
            answer6=input('Does your county located next to the Danube? (yes, no) ')
            if answer6=='yes':
                answer7=input('Does your county located next to the country border? (yes, no) ')

Hi Nandita,
Good question but it’s just basic math.
If you divide 128 with 2, seven-times, you’ll get 1.
So if you always half the distance between the upper and lower value, wcs, you’ll get the final result in 7 steps. (Not even 8 required.)
The question was meant to help with the solution, too! 😉

In the above assignment, how did you make sure that the script will find the answer in maximum 8 tries? I can see it did but was that calculated or by chance?

Thanks,
Nandita
