The Ultimate Price is Right Strategy Guide: Eazy az 1-2-3

Eazy az 1-2-3

Rules

Three prizes are shown as are three blocks number 1, 2, and 3. The contestant must place block 1 with the prize that has the cheapest price, block 2 with the prize that is neither cheapest nor most expensive, and block 3 with the most expensive prize to win.

Random fact

There was another game on the show, Clearance Sale, that was functionally equivalent to this one. But Eazy Az 1-2-3 was introduced first and has gotten a lot more love than Clearance Sale ever did. Here's a video of Clearance Sale if you want to judge for yourself:

Win-loss record

• Actual (seasons 29-46): 129-110 (53.97%)
• Probability of winning by random chance: 1/6 (16.67%)

The correct ordering of the blocks was (seasons 31-46)...

• 1-2-3: 24 playings (13.04%)
• 1-3-2: 16 playings (8.70%)
• 2-1-3: 55 playings (29.89%)
• 2-3-1: 19 playings (10.33%)
• 3-1-2: 44 playings (23.91%)
• 3-2-1: 26 playings (14.13%)

Strategy

Know the prices. If you're completely clueless about the prices, put block #1 in the middle, as it's belonged there 53.8% of the time, then make an educated guess about blocks 2 and 3.
