Pete: $
Paul: $
Joanne: $

Crush for first place

Joanne: Unfortunately, your score is less than the difference between the scores of the first and second place players, so unless they both blunder, you're competing for second place and have no hopes of first. Wager as much as you desire, but remember, you'll have better chances of advancing to second place if you have a larger sum left over on a Triple Stumper.

Paul: You have the hope of surpassing Pete if you come up with the correct response. Bet at least $5,501 to force Pete to wager to win; but if you're intent on holding on to second place, wager no more than $1,999 to protect your second place position from being usurped by Joanne.

Pete: Wager $101 to cover Paul, but no more than $7,499 so as not to fall behind Joanne's doubled score.
