+    I am thinking of a number between 1 and #{NUMBER_UPPER_BOUND}.
+    Try to guess my number. On each guess,
+    you are to enter 2 numbers, trying to trap
+    my number between the two numbers. I will
+    tell you if you have trapped my number, if my
+    number is larger than your two numbers, or if
+    my number is smaller than your two numbers.
+    If you want to guess one single number, type
+    your guess for both your trap numbers.
+    You get #{GUESSES_PER_GAME} guesses to get my number.
