     50  * The operation of this program mimics that of the standard Unix game
     51  * `arithmetic'.  I've made it as close as I could manage without examining
     52  * the source code.  The principal differences are:
     53  *
     54  * The method of biasing towards numbers that had wrong answers in the past
     55  * is different; original `arithmetic' seems to retain the bias forever,
     56  * whereas this program lets the bias gradually decay as it is used.
     57  *
     58  * Original `arithmetic' delays for some period (3 seconds?) after printing
     59  * the score.  I saw no reason for this delay, so I scrapped it.
     60  *
     61  * There is no longer a limitation on the maximum range that can be supplied
     62  * to the program.  The original program required it to be less than 100.
     63  * Anomalous results may occur with this program if ranges big enough to
     64  * allow overflow are given.
     65  *
     66  * I have obviously not attempted to duplicate bugs in the original.  It
     67  * would go into an infinite loop if invoked as `arithmetic / 0'.  It also
     68  * did not recognise an EOF in its input, and would continue trying to read
     69  * after it.  It did not check that the input was a valid number, treating any
     70  * garbage as 0.  Finally, it did not flush stdout after printing its prompt,
     71  * so in the unlikely event that stdout was not a terminal, it would not work
     72  * properly.
