Costcodle answer for February 22, 2024
Puzzle #156. 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 Weber Genesis II E335 Gas Grill. The price stored for this puzzle is $949.99. A winning guess is any amount from $902.50 through $997.48, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $712.50 to $1187.48.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $569.99, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $949.99. 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 $902.50 to $997.48.
