Need help getting avg number of guesses.

EternalTactician (52)
Its a guess game with 4 rounds.. i just need to find the average number of guesses. I DO NOT need the number of guesses for each round which i already have.

Here is my code. What am i doing wrong?

Well I'm embarrassed to say this but this took me a lot longer than I thought it would (The average part) but I managed to do it so here's the your program with an average guesses calculation. Please feel free to ask any questions you want. You were just putting the average part in the wrong spot, plus you have to treat it like a sum variable.
