I feel your arithmetic is in error.\n\n<<display "Lets Try Another">>

<<display "RealStart">>

How about that!!\n\n<<display "Lets Try Another">>

Your number divided by 5 has a remainder of?\n<<choice "choiceB0" "0">> | <<choice "choiceB1" "1">> | <<choice "choiceB2" "2">> | <<choice "choiceB3" "3">> | <<choice "choiceB4" "4">>

<<set $d = $d - 105>><<if $d gt 104>><<display "LoopMoreThan104">><<else>><<display "OutputTheNumber">><<endif>>

Let's try another.\n\n<<display "RoundStart">>

Let me think for a moment...\n<<set $d = (70 * $a) + (21 * $b) + (15 * $c)>><<if $d gt 104>><<display "LoopMoreThan104">><<else>><<display "OutputTheNumber">><<endif>>

<<set $b = 1>><<display "chooseC">>

<<set $c = 0>><<display "Time to Guess">>

<<set $c = 1>><<display "Time to Guess">>

<<set $c = 2>><<display "Time to Guess">>

<<set $c = 3>><<display "Time to Guess">>

<<set $a = 2>><<display "chooseB">>

<<set $c = 5>><<display "Time to Guess">>

Please think of a number between 1 and 100.\nYour number divided by 3 has a remainder of?\n<<choice "choiceA0" "0">> | <<choice "choiceA1" "1">> | <<choice "choiceA2" "2">>

<<set $a = 1>><<display "chooseB">>

<<set $c = 4>><<display "Time to Guess">>

<<set $a = 0>><<display "chooseB">>

Your number was <<print $d>> right? (<<choice "choiceConfirmY" "Y">> / <<choice "choiceConfirmN" "N">>)

<<set $c = 6>><<display "Time to Guess">>
