You've misread the exercise:
Modify the higher or lower program from this section to keep track of
how many times the user has entered the wrong number. If it is more
than 3 times, print "That must have been complicated." at the end,
otherwise print "Good job!"
There's nothing there about breaking out of the loop after 3 attempts,
just producing a different end message on successful completion based on
how many attempts were made.
The Wikibooks example works as specified.
