How to play
Every day you get a product and the price it cost back then. Guess what that price is worth in today's money, adjusted for inflation.
- You have 6 guesses.
- Each guess shows how far off you are and whether the answer is higher or lower.
- Green: within 5%. That's a win. Yellow: within 20%.
- Stuck? After 2 guesses you get the average yearly inflation, after 4 a price range.
When you're done, see how big the difference is, and for everyday goods whether the real price today beat inflation or not.
Prices are adjusted with the official US Consumer Price Index. A new puzzle every day at midnight, the same for everyone.
