Four-fifths for first place

Karen: If you think Lindsey is going to wager to cover you, try wagering less than $2,600 to beat Jonathan and Lindsey on the Triple Stumper; or, if you think Lindsey is going to wager small in hopes of a Triple Stumper, wager between $2,801 (venusian, to top a $0 wager by Lindsey) and $8,200 (martian, which may win in some cases but may also risk dropping you from second to third place if you get Final wrong).

Lindsey: You're faced with a legitimate choice in strategy. You can either choose to cover Karen, hoping that you give the correct response and Jonathan doesn't, in which case you'll want to wager $5,401 to cover Karen's doubled score, but no more than $7,000 if you want to top Jonathan on a Triple Stumper; or bet up to $2,799 and win if both Jonathan and Karen miss Final.

Jonathan: Wager $9,001 to cover Lindsey.
