Google wants to increase their income, so they not focus only on the CPC, but on CPC * CTR, which reflects better the total income. If the other advertisers pay $4 or $5 per click, you may get a place in the first page paying $3 if you have a better CTR. But it’s unlikely that with a $0.10 bid you can be in the first page, as you will need a CTR 40 or 50 times grater than some of the other advertisers.

Try to study how your keywords behave at different hours of the day. Some advertisers have a daily budget lower than recommended, and sometimes you can get cheap clicks in the last hours of everyday. If you cannot pay $4 or $5 a click, I would check this.
