      temperature reduction, a brute-force optimization approach (that is,
      testing every possible combination of numbers within the subranges
      determined by the new temperature) would produce a number of tests
      that is less than or equal to the specified cycles per temperature.
      In that case, the <code>anneal()</code> function performs the
      brute-force optimization to complete the annealing process.</p>
    <p>After a temperature reduction, the <code>anneal()</code> function
      determines each new subrange such that the current optimal integer
      from the total range is as close as possible to the center of the new
      subrange. When there is a tie between two possible positions for the
      subrange within the total range, a &quot;coin flip&quot; decides.</p>
