You've misread the exercise:

Modify the higher or lower program from this section to keep track of 
how many times the user has entered the wrong number.  If it is more 
than 3 times, print "That must have been complicated." at the end, 
otherwise print "Good job!"


There's nothing there about breaking out of the loop after 3 attempts, 
just producing a different end message on successful completion based on 
how many attempts were made.

The Wikibooks example works as specified.
