Enter three post-DJ! Round scores below to see wagering suggestions for each player.

Glenn: $
Barbara: $
Susan: $

Four-fifths for first place

Susan: If you think Barbara is going to wager to cover you, try wagering less than $1,000 to beat Glenn and Barbara on the Triple Stumper; or, if you think Barbara is going to wager small in hopes of a Triple Stumper, wager between $2,801 (venusian, to top a $0 wager by Barbara) and $6,600 (martian, which may win in some cases but may also risk dropping you from second to third place if you get Final wrong).

Barbara: You're faced with a legitimate choice in strategy. You can either choose to cover Susan, hoping that you give the correct response and Glenn doesn't, in which case you'll want to wager $3,801 to cover Susan's doubled score, but no more than $7,000 if you want to top Glenn on a Triple Stumper; or bet up to $2,799 and win if both Glenn and Susan miss Final.

Glenn: Wager $8,201 to cover Barbara.
