Not sure how this analysis matters.
My gut feeling is that you will need about 300 guesses that one of them will be the correct answer.
I think the winner will be the person that guesses closest out of all entries -- no need to hit it exact.

How do you get 300 guesses? Are you saying that this number of guesses will be the level at which there's a 50% likelihood that the actual answer was one of the guesses?

Are you assuming that there are no duplicate guesses? Since everyone can see the prior guesses, that seems reasonable -- though I imagine at 300 guesses there's going to be plenty of them that were made without reviewing the entire prior list.

That's what Panera Bread found out with their "Pay what you can afford for their sandwiches deal." I.E. Hey look free sandwiches!
