 Two Number Guessing Game:
 -Player 1 picks two random numbers, A and B. In reality they can be any two real numbers.
    In python we run into trouble with numbers larger than 2,147,483,647 due
    to 32 bit arithmetic, so we'll bound the limits here.
 -Player 2 can see one of the two numbers.
 -Player 2 then has to decide which number is larger.

 It seems like it would be a random chance. Regardless of what number A is,
 there's an infinite amount of numbers greater than, and an infinte amount of
 numbers less than that number.

 By introducing a third random number K, Player 2 can increase their probability
 to greater than 50%.
