Costcodle answer for December 2, 2023
Puzzle #74. 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 Keurig K-Supreme Plus Special Edition Single Serve Coffee Maker, with 18 K-Cup Pods. The price stored for this puzzle is $139.99. A winning guess is any amount from $133.00 through $146.98, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $105.00 to $174.98.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $83.99, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $139.99. 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 $133.00 to $146.98.
