Bracketing Search Exercise Example? c++

Vanapapi (15)
Is there a really good example for this one?
I've found this one http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/72178/
, but it's struggling with 1 and 100 and it doesn't use user input(too low, too high).
I created one myself, but it doesn't look good, altough it functions properly and the only mistake is that it guesses 100 in 8, not 7 tries:

Any way to do this shorter and at the same time following the instructions?(Which can be found here: http://www.cplusplus.com/articles/N6vU7k9E/)

Pretty sure I saw one just the other day, but I can't find it. Here's a link to mine:
