"Witout going over" is kind of misleading here. But basically what is meant is if the date you guessed has passed and the album didn't come out, you're disqualified. Malone guessed November of 2019, which has passed, so he is disqualified
This was my understanding too.

I say 96 wins.
Ruddo is right.

His time has passed. It’s over the date he picked, therefore, he is disqualified from winning.

I'll need a thorough post from jorge about the OP he posted on February 27th, 2017, 10:29 am and what his thought is about going over

It's whether his pick went over....

Huh? The date passed, he’s out.

I really can’t stretch my brain into any way of understanding how anyone other than 96 won.

Exactly. Which is under any date after it.

Watch an episode of The Price Is Right, which made famous the concept of "closest without going over."

I thought it would be 96, but based on how Jorge explained it earlier, it wouldn’t be.

I don’t see why this has anything to do with whatever is done or not done on a game show?

I've never watched The Price is Right so maybe that is the problem

I'll watch it and figure this out. Which episode should I start with?
