Four-fifths for first place

Cash: If you think Bob is going to wager to cover you, try wagering less than $700 to beat Barb and Bob on the Triple Stumper; or, if you think Bob is going to wager small in hopes of a Triple Stumper, wager between $2,501 (venusian, to top a $0 wager by Bob) and $5,700 (martian, which may win in some cases but may also risk dropping you from second to third place if you get Final wrong).

Bob: You're faced with a legitimate choice in strategy. You can either choose to cover Cash, hoping that you give the correct response and Barb doesn't, in which case you'll want to wager $3,201 to cover Cash's doubled score, but no more than $7,000 if you want to top Barb on a Triple Stumper; or bet up to $2,499 and win if both Barb and Cash miss Final.

Barb: Wager $7,601 to cover Bob.
