I’m not sure if there’s a problem with Magic Number or it just attracts stupid contestants.

I just think that most don't get that most prizes aren't in the low $1000s anymore or wasn't clear to them that there is often a clear and obvious discrepancy in prize between the two items.

Other than ask the contestants themselves what they believed the prize of the less-expensive item is and then try to make a fix (I don't know what'd be) I don't have a solution. Eventually someone will get it and others will catch on.

The audience was definitely not helping on that Magic # guess, there were bunches of people telling her to go even lower. Me, if I ever played this game, I'd set the number about $2500 and take my prizes tyvm.

Hard to believe that Rachel's been on the show for 15 years; as you know, I did a recap on her first episode, and you can read it here (http://www.golden-road.net/index.php/topic,28557.0.html).

Easy Swap Meet, the shoes and treadclimber were definitely more than the laptop.

Tough break in Let em Roll. I thought the Boost drinks were going to be less than the lotion and she got that one right but then said more for the detergent.

Magic # had a better guess last time it was played, now we're back to setting it way too low. Is $5,994 the most expensive prize ever offered in the game?

David wasted his first guess in Switcheroo putting the 6 in the car. Much better guess with the 2 the second time, too bad it was the 3 there.

Let me also add this is only the 4th time in Magic # history where the spread between both prizes was over $4,000
( all occurring in the last 3 seasons )

In that case, the game should actually be won more.

As "ooboh" pointed out, on 6/13/17, it was played for an $8990 8' barbecue island.

On 11/4/15, the upper prize was a $6699 Honda ATV.

Ironically, on March 1, 2017, the upper prize was the exact same 7' barbecue island that was offered today, and it had the exact same price of $5994.

Actually, today was the FIFTH time. The other times were:

Date Bottom End Top End Range
11/04/2015 $2,000 $6,699 $4,699
04/26/2016 $ 875 $5,400 $4,525
06/13/2016 $2,970 $8,990 $6,020
03/01/2017 $1,344 $5,994 $4,650

I did a comprehensive analysis a few months ago, where I determined that if you set the Magic # to $3000, you would win slightly over 95% of the time. Maybe it's time potential contestants learned this unspoken rule.

No website. Some time ago, there was a discussion about Magic # and "sideshowPA" questioned whether there was a firm # which would ensure a very large chance of winning.

I was bored and wide awake, so I just went through a few seasons and grabbed the data from the times Magic # was played. It made for a nice analysis of the games' upper and lower prizes and the "winning range".

The full list is below, including this playing and a few others I missed, as well as a corrected entry (thanks to TinoStar11):

Date Bottom End Top End Range
10/22/2014 $1,595 $3,295 $1,700
11/21/2014 $1,220 $4,762 $3,542
02/26/2015 $1,598 $5,494 $3,896
03/03/2015 $1,999 $3,298 $1,299
03/09/2015 $1,800 $4,633 $2,833
05/06/2015 $1,800 $4,949 $3,149
09/29/2015 $2,120 $5,409 $3,289
11/04/2015 $2,000 $6,699 $4,699
12/15/2015 $1,389 $4,999 $3,610
01/28/2016 $3,378 $4,632 $1,254
02/19/2016 $1,499 $4,899 $3,400
03/04/2016 $2,782 $5,487 $2,705
04/26/2016 $1,999 $5,400 $3,401
06/13/2016 $2,970 $8,990 $6,020
10/13/2016 $2,435 $5,990 $3,555
01/09/2017 $1,550 $4,045 $2,495
03/01/2017 $1,344 $5,994 $4,650
03/24/2017 $1,345 $4,875 $3,530
05/02/2017 $1,203 $4,089 $2,886
05/31/2017 $2,398 $4,199 $1,801
11/07/2017 $1,869 $4,329 $2,460
01/25/2018 $2,495 $4,999 $2,504
03/30/2018 $1,749 $4,200 $2,451
04/16/2018 $2,300 $4,499 $2,199
05/04/2018 $1,440 $4,312 $2,872

Yup. I had that one wrong. I've fixed it, for what it's worth. Thanks!!

At the end of the day, setting the Magic # to $3000 would have gotten a win 26/27 times, or 96.3%.
(Actually, setting the Magic # to anything between $2970 & $3298 would have gotten the win, but as I said before, I like round numbers...)

Once again the contestants think the object of the game is to set the Magic # just over the first prize. To see them surgically set the number at $1096, $1097, $1098 is painful to watch. Get that thing over $2500 already!!!

I wonder if the Magic # should just be in multiples of $5 or $10. Do we need it by the dollar? I think the game would go quicker and the scale would move up faster as well. (This assumes they want the game to be won more often!)

For the first five or so years of the game, the Magic # automatically rounded itself to the nearest $10. This was changed to allow for more precision. Also, I would not be surprised if the change was made due to the fact a contestant could lose because the computer rounded the Magic # in such a way that it fell short or exceeded one of the prizes' prices.
