Hi Steve,

The main loop of the game would be as follows:

print 'I am going to test if you are psychic, press enter to
continue...'
initialise = gets
reply='yes'

while reply=='yes'
	matches = ask 'I am thinking of a number between 1 and 10, can you guess what it is?'
	puts 'As to the question of you being psychic the answer is:'
	puts matches
	puts 'Would you like to play again? (please answer yes or no'
	reply = gets.chomp
end

puts 'Goodbye and farewell...'

Probably there is a more idiomatic way of doing it and also you should check better for the inputed value from the user ( something to investigate for you in the future).

Regards,
V.
