answer:Your solution is correct. Here's the same code with a brief explanation: ```python import random def generate_random_numbers(num_numbers, min_value, max_value): return [random.randint(min_value, max_value) for _ in range(num_numbers)] ``` This function uses a list comprehension to generate a list of random integers. The `random.randint(min_value, max_value)` function is used to generate a random integer within the specified range, and this is repeated `num_numbers` times using the `range` function. The `_` variable is used to ignore the loop variable, since we don't need it. You can use this function like this: ```python numbers = generate_random_numbers(10, 1, 100) print(numbers) ```

answer:Your solution is correct. Here's the same code with a few minor improvements: ```python def play_hangman(): word = input(Enter the word to guess: ).lower() max_guesses = int(input(Enter the maximum number of guesses: )) guessed_word = [_] * len(word) guesses = 0 while guesses < max_guesses and _ in guessed_word: print( .join(guessed_word)) guess = input(Enter a letter to guess: ).lower() if len(guess) != 1 or not guess.isalpha(): print(Invalid guess. Please enter a single letter.) continue if guess in word: for i, letter in enumerate(word): if letter == guess: guessed_word[i] = guess else: guesses += 1 print(fIncorrect guess. You have {max_guesses - guesses} guesses left.) if _ not in guessed_word: print( .join(guessed_word)) print(Congratulations! You guessed the word.) else: print(fSorry, you didn't guess the word. The word was {word}.) play_hangman() ``` I've added the `.lower()` method to the `input` call for the word to guess, so that the game is case-insensitive. I've also added a call to `play_hangman()` at the end of the script to start the game. One additional feature that could be added to the game is to allow the user to guess the word directly, rather than just guessing a letter. This could be done by checking if the user's guess is the same length as the word, and if it is, then checking if it is the correct word. If it is, the game ends and the user is congratulated. If it is not, then the game continues as normal. Here's an example of how this could be implemented: ```python def play_hangman(): word = input(Enter the word to guess: ).lower() max_guesses = int(input(Enter the maximum number of guesses: )) guessed_word = [_] * len(word) guesses = 0 while guesses < max_guesses and _ in guessed_word: print( .join(guessed_word)) guess = input(Enter a letter or the word to guess: ).lower() if len(guess) == len(word): if guess == word: print(Congratulations! You guessed the word.) return else: guesses += 1 print(fIncorrect guess. You have {max_guesses - guesses} guesses left.) elif len(guess) != 1 or not guess.isalpha(): print(Invalid guess. Please enter a single letter or the word.) continue if guess in word: for i, letter in enumerate(word): if letter == guess: guessed_word[i] = guess else: guesses += 1 print(fIncorrect guess. You have {max_guesses - guesses} guesses left.) if _ not in guessed_word: print( .join(guessed_word)) print(Congratulations! You guessed the word.) else: print(fSorry, you didn't guess the word. The word was {word}.) play_hangman() ```

answer:(sigh) This one's been keeping me up at night. Wealthy businessman, Richard Langley, found dead in his mansion on the outskirts of town. No signs of forced entry or struggle, but the scene was... unusual. Langley was lying on his back in the study, a single bullet wound to the chest. The odd thing is, there's no gun, no shell casing, and no fingerprints or DNA evidence that doesn't belong to the victim or his staff. What really gets my attention, though, is the lack of motive. Langley was a well-respected member of the community, no known enemies, and his business dealings seemed clean. The only thing that stands out is a cryptic letter on his desk with a single sentence: You will never find me. No signature, no indication who wrote it or what it refers to. We've interviewed the staff, but they all seem shaken and genuinely distraught. The wife, Sarah, was out of town at the time of the murder, and we've confirmed her alibi. I've been going over the case files for days, but I still can't shake the feeling that I'm missing something. (pauses, rubbing temples) This case is starting to get under my skin.

answer:Richard Langley... (pulls out a file, flipping through the pages) He was a tall, imposing figure. 6'2 with a athletic build, likely from regular time spent at the gym. 52 years old, but looked younger. His hair was dark brown, cut short and styled neatly. He had a sharp jawline, piercing blue eyes, and a small scar above his left eyebrow from a childhood accident. On the night of the murder, he was dressed in a tailored black suit, white shirt, and a silver tie. His suit jacket was slung over the back of his chair, and his shoes were still on his feet. No signs of dishevelment or struggle, just... (pauses, studying the file) a single bullet wound, almost like he was caught off guard. We've also found a few distinguishing features: a gold Rolex on his wrist, a simple silver wedding band on his left hand, and a small tattoo of a snake coiled around his right wrist. According to his wife, the tattoo was from his college days, some sort of fraternity ritual. (closes the file, eyes narrowing) But I still can't help but wonder if there's more to that tattoo than meets the eye...
