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

Terry: $
Linda: $
John: $

Four-fifths for first place

John: You ought to try wagering between $1,001 and $2,200. This will top a $0 wager by Linda while still beating Terry and Linda on the Triple Stumper (should Terry wager to cover Linda's doubled score and Linda wager to cover your doubled score).

Linda: You're faced with a legitimate choice in strategy. You can either choose to cover John, hoping that you give the correct response and Terry doesn't, in which case you'll want to wager $3,201 to cover John's doubled score, but no more than $5,000 if you want to top Terry on a Triple Stumper; or bet up to $999 and win if both Terry and John miss Final.

Terry: Wager $5,101 to cover Linda.
