Jared missed FJ, so maybe you've got a chance if you can pick up at least $9801 of the available $12800 in trash. You might artificially beef up your score with DD2. But then maybe Jared would leverage DD3 (which isn't available to the fourth podium) to roar ahead of you. You're free to claim a win as long as you show your work.

I got the Oilers (I was clamming on them until Jared's mistake, but I suspect with a longer look at the picture, which I'd have had on stage, I would have had it either way), Ginza, Luzon, gondola, Cannes, Bacon, and Maui. I clammed on black holes and came up with Dewar just a little too late to count a get. I got POTUS. The question for me is whether I hit the Maui DD after getting Bacon. If I do, I believe I win.

The follow-up question, which isn't answerable, is what does Jared do when he hits DD3? You took away the $3000 he would've made on DD2, but he's still got $16,200 to wager. Can he put together a runaway? Will he? My guesses are yes and no, so you come roaring back for FJ and make him regret it.
