Reasoning & candidate comparison Contains the answer
Use directional feedback to narrow the price
- The product name “Old Hickory Smokehouse Brisket Burnt Ends” gives no package weight or count. We therefore do not calculate a per-pound price or invent a pack size. Instead, this worked simulation applies the game's documented feedback to its recorded $19.99 answer. The initial $10.00 is a neutral demonstration probe (also used in the game’s tutorial), not a retail estimate.
- Probe 1: $10.00 produces a higher arrow and is more than 25% away, but not within 5%. Combining direction and colour leaves cent-valued prices of at least $13.34. Double the probe until an upper bound appears.
- Probe 2: $20.00 is 0.05% from the recorded answer, within 5%, so it wins. This completes the example in 2 of the allowed 6 guesses.
| Candidate / approach | Assessment | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Probe 1: $10.00 | Too low | The simulated feedback raises the lower bound; do not repeat this guess or move lower. It is a calculated example, not an observed attempt. |
| Probe 2: $20.00 | Within winning tolerance | Absolute error $0.01, or 0.05%, satisfies the official 5% rule. |
What this does and does not establish
- This replay uses the revealed answer to simulate feedback, rather than claiming a prior price prediction or an actual playthrough. It demonstrates how each new response changes the next decision. The missing package weight remains unknown.
