Darn it! You got me :-)

What's most interesting to me is that if the human is picking the random number, there are heuristics you could use to guess it. A birthday, for example. A favorite number perhaps. But perfect play is easy and requires brute force search.

One of my favorite numbers is 355/113 but it's still hard to guess.
