Four-fifths for first place

Mark: Think about risking $1,800 or less, thereby beating Margaret on the Triple Stumper (should Margaret wager to cover Eric's doubled score). If you also want to beat Eric on the Triple Stumper, should Eric choose to attempt to cover your doubled score, then wager $200.

Eric: You're faced with a legitimate choice in strategy. You can either choose to cover Mark, hoping that you give the correct response and Margaret doesn't, in which case you'll want to wager $2,801 to cover Mark's doubled score, but no more than $4,400 if you want to top Margaret on a Triple Stumper; or bet up to $2,599 and win if both Margaret and Mark miss Final.

Margaret: Wager $6,201 to cover Eric.
