The Concept of Misguessing in Guessing Games

Misguessing is a term used in the context of guessing games, such as "20 Questions" or "Guess My Number". It refers to a situation where a player makes an incorrect guess, but not because they don't know the correct answer, but rather because they have made an incorrect assumption or interpretation of the information available.

For example, if someone is trying to guess the number I am thinking of, and they assume that it is a prime number, but it is actually a composite number, then they are misguessing. They have made an incorrect assumption about the nature of the number, which leads to an incorrect guess.
