How the Case of the Day Gets Picked

What's up, Holmies? Every day, one hat gets selected as Case of the Day. No voting. Not the hat with the most midi-chlorians. No corporate overlord is picking this. Just some Hatlock math leading to a deal score.

Here is the setup.

The top score gets the spotlight for the day, and it updates every morning. So no, it is not random. It is just my made-up algorithm doing detective work.

I thought this would be a fun feature. You can always ignore it and get straight into the other thousands of deals.
