Costcodle answer for February 22, 2025
Puzzle #522. 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 Hershey’s Almond Joy, 36 x 1.61 oz. The price stored for this puzzle is $26.99. A winning guess is any amount from $25.65 through $28.33, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $20.25 to $33.73.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $16.19, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $26.99. 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 $25.65 to $28.33.
