Costcodle answer for June 25, 2024
Puzzle #280. 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 Junior’s Mini Cheesecakes, 24 Ct. The price stored for this puzzle is $19.49. A winning guess is any amount from $18.52 through $20.46, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $14.62 to $24.36.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $11.69, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $19.49. 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 $18.52 to $20.46.
