Sara: $
Ted: $
Jon: $

Three-quarters for first place

Weak form of Shore's Conjecture

Jon: Too bad for you, Jon, your score is less than Sara's score minus Ted's score. Unless they both commit an egregious wagering error, you've no hope of moving into first place. 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.

Ted: You ought to wager between $1,701 (venusian) and $2,100 (martian), thereby safely covering a $0 bet by Sara.

Sara: Wager $3,801 to cover Ted, but no more than $4,399 so as not to fall behind Jon's doubled score. If you're a fan of shoretegic wagering, you might risk $1,001.
