Price Sense

Four everyday items appear. Pick the one that costs the most or the least. Everything from a pen to a new car, with gaps that shrink as you go.

How to play

  1. Four items are shown as choices, and the question asks which costs the most or which costs the least.
  2. Tap the item you think fits. Wrong picks are greyed out and counted as mistakes.
  3. Early questions have big gaps between the prices. Later ones put the top two items much closer together.
  4. After each answer the note shows the typical prices so you can calibrate your sense of value.

Tips and strategy

  • Sort the four items in your head from cheap to expensive, then read the question again.
  • Read whether it asks for the most or the least. It changes between questions.
  • Big items such as vehicles and furniture are easy. The hard ones are the middle of the range.
  • Prices are rounded typical shop prices in US dollars. Only the order matters.

FAQ

Are the prices exact?
No. They are rounded typical prices in US dollars. Real prices vary by shop and country, but the order is what you are tested on.
Will two items ever cost the same?
Never between the top two. Each question needs a clear gap between the answer and the runner-up.
Is this about shopping or maths?
It is about sense of value. There is no arithmetic, only judgement.
