Can you write down the process you used when guessing the numbers?
Can you turn that description into pseudo-Python code?

Hint:
You need to get the computer  to generate numbers in an ever narrowing range, 
Maybe the midpoint number? (You could also google "binary chop" to get 
more ideas)

Then you need to tell the computer which direction it should go next.

Have a stab at it, get back to us with what you've come up with.
