Costcodle answer for January 30, 2024
Puzzle #133. 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 Cion Bakery Honey Castella, 12 ct. The price stored for this puzzle is $12.99. A winning guess is any amount from $12.35 through $13.63, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $9.75 to $16.23.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $7.79, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $12.99. 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 $12.35 to $13.63.
