Four-fifths for first place

Julie: If you think Rich is going to wager to cover you, try wagering less than $1,400 to beat Shari and Rich on the Triple Stumper; or, if you think Rich is going to wager small in hopes of a Triple Stumper, wager between $3,601 (venusian, to top a $0 wager by Rich) and $8,600 (martian, which may win in some cases but may also risk dropping you from second to third place if you get Final wrong).

Rich: You're faced with a legitimate choice in strategy. You can either choose to cover Julie, hoping that you give the correct response and Shari doesn't, in which case you'll want to wager $5,001 to cover Julie's doubled score, but no more than $7,600 if you want to top Shari on a Triple Stumper; or bet up to $3,599 and win if both Shari and Julie miss Final.

Shari: Wager $9,901 to cover Rich.
