contract GuessTheRandomNumberChallenge {
    uint8 answer;

    function GuessTheRandomNumberChallenge() public payable {
        require(msg.value == 1 ether);
        answer = uint8(keccak256(block.blockhash(block.number - 1), now));
    }

    function isComplete() public view returns (bool) {
        return address(this).balance == 0;
    }

    function guess(uint8 n) public payable {
        require(msg.value == 1 ether);

        if (n == answer) {
            msg.sender.transfer(2 ether);
        }
    }
}

analyses

the correct number is stored in the blockchain state (storage). we can get it off-chain.

solution

call ethers’s function getStorageAt() to get the “answer” and then call guess(uint8)
