Costcodle answer for October 10, 2024
Puzzle #387. 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 Pure Olive Oil, 2 x 3 L. The price stored for this puzzle is $25.99. A winning guess is any amount from $24.70 through $27.28, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $19.50 to $32.48.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $15.59, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $25.99. 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 $24.70 to $27.28.
