Ah, yes.  Here are not one, but TWO programs that used to be on the CCC machine
at MIT.  The first is a number guessing game, the second tries to guess which
CCC admin person you have thought of.  Both are shell scripts.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo "You think of a number, and I will guess it.  Answer yes or no to"
echo "my questions."
trap "" 2 3
while true
do
	echo "Is it seven?"
	read ans
	if [ x$ans = xy -o x$ans = xyes ]
	then
		echo I win!
		exit 0
	fi
done
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo "You think of the name of a sysperson, and I will guess it."
echo "Answer yes or no to my questions."
trap "" 2 3
while true
do
	echo "Is it Evan?"
	read ans
	if [ x$ans = xy -o x$ans = xyes ]
	then
		echo I win!
		exit 0
	fi
done
