Costcodle answer for January 14, 2025

Puzzle #483. 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.

Mt. Olive Kosher Petite Dills, 46 oz, the Costcodle item for 2025-01-14

The shelf price

The item is Mt. Olive Kosher Petite Dills, 46 oz. The price stored for this puzzle is $4.49. A winning guess is any amount from $4.27 through $4.71, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $3.37 to $5.61.

How I would have opened it

If I had started this day at $2.69, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $4.49. 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 $4.27 to $4.71.
