Today's food for the semifinals is Korean of course

HELLO!!!
We will begin Round 13 of CP The Genius.
Bizaro86 was eliminated in Round 12 and now there are 3 players remaining (squiggs96, Rathji, mrkajz44).
Gaudreaus are no longer a factor
The 13th Main Match is
HOW MUCH?
In How Much, you must deduce the price that the guests offered for a product and the player who guesses the highest price will get points and the lowest price will also get points.
This game will be played over 7 rounds and will be played with 5 special CP guests. (Names will not be revealed and originally there were 9 rounds but a couple of questions were deemed too personal or inappropriate).
The 5 guests are:
Calgary Accountant
New Zealand Chef
Ontario Police Officer
China School Admin
Calgary Systems Admin
Each of the 5 guests have already submitted their prices for 7 products. These prices were made based on their own values and the prices submitted by each guest will not be revealed to the other guests or players at the beginning of the game.
One product will be revealed each round. The products will be revealed in order of the lowest total price offered by the guests. Meaning the total price of the 5 guests combined for the product will be lowest in Round 1 and highest in Round 7.
Before the game begins, players will be shown the total price submitted by each guest for all 7 products.
In How Much, there are two types of questions that can be asked.
1. A price check on a guest (what is the price that China School Admin submitted? answer: $100)
2. A ranking check on a guest (What rank is the price that China School Admin submitted? answer: price is 2nd highest)
- if there is a tie for highest both will be considered 1st highest, if there is a tie for lowest both will be considered 5th highest.
For each round, the 3 Genius players will agree on a public question in the thread for a shared public clue to be displayed in the thread. Then each player will PM me a private question and get a private clue.
Once the two questions have been asked, using the clues for information, the players will PM me their guess for highest price and lowest price (just the price, not who submitted it). They can guess any price from $0.01 to $24,999.99. But they cannot exceed $25,000 total for the 7 rounds. Each round the money remaining for each player will be displayed.
The guest with the highest price and lowest price will then be revealed
Scoring
The player who guessed the highest price without going over and the lowest price without going under will receive points. If two players guessed the highest price, or if two players guessed the lowest price, the points will go to the third player. If all players guessed over, or all players guessed under or all players guessed the same amount, there will be no points given.
Examples:
Highest price was $1100 and lowest price was $500 and the guesses were
Player 1: $1200, $700
Player 2: $900, $600
Player 3: $800, $600
Player 2 would win highest because Player 1 went over, Player 1 would win lowest because Player 2 and 3 tied.
In Rounds 1,2,3,4 1 point will be given for highest and 1 point for lowest
In Rounds 5,6 2 points will be given for highest and 2 points for lowest
In Round 7 3 points will be given for highest and 3 points for lowest
However in Round 7, only 1 private clue will be allowed.
The player will the most points will Win and go to the Final, the remaining two players will go to the death match. If there is a tie for first then whoever got more points in Round 7 will win, if tied then Round 6 and so on.
Also with 22 points available, if a player reaches 12 points the game will end.
The key to this game will be how you ask your questions to target either highest or lowest.
