Costcodle answer for October 11, 2024
Puzzle #388. 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 Amylu Organic Chicken Burger with Caramelized Onion and Aged White Cheddar, 8 Burgers, 32 oz. The price stored for this puzzle is $14.99. A winning guess is any amount from $14.25 through $15.73, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $11.25 to $18.73.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $8.99, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $14.99. 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 $14.25 to $15.73.
