Costcodle answer for December 22, 2024
Puzzle #460. 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 Knorr Chicken Flavor Bouillon, 7.9 lbs. The price stored for this puzzle is $14.49. A winning guess is any amount from $13.77 through $15.21, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $10.87 to $18.11.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $8.69, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $14.49. 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 $13.77 to $15.21.
