Four-fifths for first place

Ian: If you think Ken is going to wager to cover you, try wagering less than $1,600 to beat Elizabeth and Ken on the Triple Stumper; or, if you think Ken is going to wager small in hopes of a Triple Stumper, wager between $3,401 (venusian, to top a $0 wager by Ken) and $8,400 (martian, which may win in some cases but may also risk dropping you from second to third place if you get Final wrong).

Ken: You're faced with a legitimate choice in strategy. You can either choose to cover Ian, hoping that you give the correct response and Elizabeth doesn't, in which case you'll want to wager $5,001 to cover Ian's doubled score, but no more than $11,000 if you want to top Elizabeth on a Triple Stumper; or bet up to $3,399 and win if both Elizabeth and Ian miss Final.

Elizabeth: Wager $11,401 to cover Ken.
