Costcodle answer for January 10, 2025
Puzzle #479. 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 Fundables Variety Fruit Snacks 36/2.5 Oz. The price stored for this puzzle is $13.99. A winning guess is any amount from $13.30 through $14.68, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $10.50 to $17.48.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $8.39, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $13.99. 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 $13.30 to $14.68.
