Think about it. tries starts out as 0. Make a guess. tries is incremented to 1.
guess - 2
guess - 3
That's 3 guesses! How could it only be 2? Remember, I omitted the guess outside of the loop in the code I posted. It must still be in the code you tested.

I found the mistake my tries was set to tries = 1 it should be tries = 0.
Thanks for all your help solsteel much appreciated.

Confirmed it works.
Now I have to figure how to modify the program when player picks a random number and the computer will have to guess my random number.

Here's a hint:
Update possible_guesses every time a guess is made, eliminating the numbers that are greater than or less than the last guess.

Is this the only way to solve this problem. Looking at the chapter i'm reading "Python Programming for the absolute Beginner" they don't even list that command. If it is I have to complain to the author on why he didn't even mention this command.

Here's the program for computer guessing my number unfortunately when I run the program
it's off by 1. For example I enter my number 24 computer guessed it correctly on the 3rd attempt.
Unfortunately it list "And it only took two tries".
I set tries=1.
If I set tries=0 it will always list it as "And it only took 1 tries".
import random
print "\t\t\tWelcome to \"Guess My Number\"!"
print "\nThink of a number between 1 and 100."
print "I will try to guess it in as few attempts as possible.\n"
number = input ("Enter the number: ")
#the computer guesses the number using the random function
guess = random.randrange (1,101)
tries = 1
#FIXME
while (guess != number):
if (guess > number):
print "You chose", guess, "the number is Lower ..."
guess = random.randint(1, guess-1)
else:
print "You chose", guess, "the number is Higher ..."
guess = random.randint(guess+1, 101)
tries += 1
print "You guessed it! The number was", number
print "And it only took you", tries, "tries!\n"
break
raw_input ("Press <ENTER> to exit.")

Resolved it had to change the location of tries=1
import random
print "\t\t\tWelcome to \"Guess My Number\"!"
print "\nThink of a number between 1 and 100."
print "I will try to guess it in as few attempts as possible.\n"
number = input ("Enter the number: ")
#the computer guesses the number using the random function
guess = random.randrange (1,501)
tries = 1
#FIXME
while (guess != number):
tries += 1
if (guess > number):
print "You chose", guess, "the number is Lower ..."
guess = random.randint(1, guess+1)
else:
print "You chose", guess, "the number is Higher ..."
guess = random.randint(guess-1, 501)
print "You guessed it! The number was", number
print "And it only took you", tries, "tries!\n"
break
raw_input ("Press <ENTER> to exit.")
import random
print "\t\t\tWelcome to \"Guess My Number\"!"
print "\nThink of a number between 1 and 100."
print "I will try to guess it in as few attempts as possible.\n"
number = input ("Enter the number: ")
#the computer guesses the number using the random function
guess = random.randrange (1,501)

else:
print "You chose", guess, "the number is Higher ..."
guess = random.randint(guess-1, 501)
print "You guessed it! The number was", number
print "And it only took you", tries, "tries!\n"
break
raw_input ("Press <ENTER> to exit.")
What is the hang-up you have with CODE TAGS? Your code would look like below, and other people may actually read it!
[code=Python] ......code goes here....
....and here....
[/code]
