Wild result. That's a "first equals third plus half of second" scenario, or as I like to call it, "Faith Love on crack [or speed, or whatever drug of choice]."MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Mon May 16, 2022 6:58 pm Courtesy of Jeff, I added 6/13/91: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=7356

Here's what it comes down to:
If first wagers to offer a tie to second doubling up and gets it wrong, they'll fall to where third place will fall if they wager to catch up to second and get it wrong.
And, if first wagers to offer a tie to third doubling up and gets it wrong, they'll fall to where second stands.
I think I've got all the alignments there. The upshot is that each player has two strategic options if they recognize the scenario: third, to double up or catch up to second; second, to double up or stand pat; first, to offer a tie to second or third. And depending on how they choose and how FJ plays out, any two players (or all three) can tie. The two challengers almost had the right idea (not that a slight correction would have improved things for them).
Corrections:
J!1: Nattonal -> National
J!18: it's' -> it's
DJ17: "the Elder, -> "the Elder", (presuming the J! style of placing the comma outside the quotation marks)
DJ18: iberated -> liberated
