Four-fifths for first place

Shu-Ping: If you think Jess is going to wager to cover you, try wagering less than $3,400 to beat Hilary and Jess on the Triple Stumper; or, if you think Jess is going to wager small in hopes of a Triple Stumper, wager between $4,001 (venusian, to top a $0 wager by Jess) and $11,400 (martian, which may win in some cases but may also risk dropping you from second to third place if you get Final wrong).

Jess: You're faced with a legitimate choice in strategy. You can either choose to cover Shu-Ping, hoping that you give the correct response and Hilary doesn't, in which case you'll want to wager $7,401 to cover Shu-Ping's doubled score, but no more than $10,600 if you want to top Hilary on a Triple Stumper; or bet up to $3,999 and win if both Hilary and Shu-Ping miss Final.

Hilary: Wager $13,001 to cover Jess.
