Four-fifths for first place

Ruth: If you think Liddy is going to wager to cover you, try wagering less than $600 to beat Jim and Liddy on the Triple Stumper; or, if you think Liddy is going to wager small in hopes of a Triple Stumper, wager between $3,401 (venusian, to top a $0 wager by Liddy) and $7,400 (martian, which may win in some cases but may also risk dropping you from second to third place if you get Final wrong).

Liddy: You're faced with a legitimate choice in strategy. You can either choose to cover Ruth, hoping that you give the correct response and Jim doesn't, in which case you'll want to wager $4,001 to cover Ruth's doubled score, but no more than $8,400 if you want to top Jim on a Triple Stumper; or bet up to $3,399 and win if both Jim and Ruth miss Final.

Jim: Wager $9,601 to cover Liddy.
