<p>We are playing the Guess Game. The game is as follows:</p>

<p>I pick a number from <code>1</code> to <code>n</code>. You have to guess which number I picked.</p>

<p>Every time you guess wrong, I will tell you whether the number I picked is higher or lower than your guess.</p>

<p>You call a pre-defined API <code>int guess(int num)</code>, which returns three possible results:</p>

<ul>
	<li><code>-1</code>: Your guess is higher than the number I picked (i.e. <code>num &gt; pick</code>).</li>
	<li><code>1</code>: Your guess is lower than the number I picked (i.e. <code>num &lt; pick</code>).</li>
	<li><code>0</code>: your guess is equal to the number I picked (i.e. <code>num == pick</code>).</li>
</ul>

<p>Return <em>the number that I picked</em>.</p>
