Costcodle answer for December 9, 2023
Puzzle #81. 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 Kirkland Signature Paper Towels, 2-Ply, 160 Sheets, 12 Individually Wrapped Rolls. The price stored for this puzzle is $22.99. A winning guess is any amount from $21.85 through $24.13, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $17.25 to $28.73.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $13.79, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $22.99. 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 $21.85 to $24.13.
