+ * 375. Guess Number Higher or Lower II
+ * https://leetcode.com/problems/guess-number-higher-or-lower-ii/
+ * Difficulty: Medium
+ *
+ * We are playing the Guessing Game. The game will work as follows:
+ * 1. I pick a number between 1 and n.
+ * 2. You guess a number.
+ * 3. If you guess the right number, you win the game.
+ * 4. If you guess the wrong number, then I will tell you whether the number I picked is higher
+ *    or lower, and you will continue guessing.
+ * 5. Every time you guess a wrong number x, you will pay x dollars. If you run out of money,
+ *    you lose the game.
+ *
+ * Given a particular n, return the minimum amount of money you need to guarantee a win
+ * regardless of what number I pick.
