Costcodle answer for December 6, 2023
Puzzle #78. I read this row from the official games list. The date is the UTC calendar day sampled at noon; your live game may show another number in your time zone.
The shelf price
The item is Samsung 85" Class - CU7000D Series - 4K UHD LED LCD TV. The price stored for this puzzle is $899.99. A winning guess is any amount from $855.00 through $944.98, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $675.00 to $1124.98.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $539.99, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $899.99. Anything beyond 25 percent away is a red tile. I would then jump toward the middle of the remaining range instead of nudging by a dime. Once a guess lands inside the yellow band I only test the center of $855.00 to $944.98.
