Part of me wants to make it slightly more challenging by adding one more rule:

The program cannot do more than 2 comparisons.

I'm trying to think of what the most optimized solution overall for
this is.  The most readable solutions will often involve 3
comparisons.  You could get by with 2, but depending on how you store
the result of one of the comparisons I'm not sure that actually buys
you anything.
