Four-fifths for first place

Intermediate form of Shore's Conjecture

Mike: You just can't cover a rational wager by Ellen, nor can you win on a Triple Stumper. Improve your situation by wagering everything but a few bucks--and then getting Final right!

Ellen: Your score is within 4/5ths of Vic's, so wager between $2,201 (venusian) and $3,399 (martian), beating Vic's maximum safe bet of the difference between your scores while still covering against a doubled score on Mike's part.

Vic: Wager $4,701 to cover Ellen. Or, you could try out a Shoretegic bet of $2,301.
