There is nothing added by this task that isn't already covered by Guess_the_number. Pointless restrictions on code formatting lead to obfuscation and code compression that Rosetta Code specifically discourages, and completely prevents some languages from participating; Piet and Fōrmulæ come to mind immediately. There is no restriction on line length, so the task is pretty much "Copy the program from Guess_the_number but take out all of the new-line characters." Vote for deletion. --Thundergnat (talk) 10:18, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
