What was the question for this implicit rationale, and corresponding answer?
7 + 1 = 8 people threw money into the pot. So the amount of money in the pot is 8 * 5 = $40. First place gets 40 * .8 = $32. So there is 40 - 32 = $8 left in the pot after first place gets his cut. So third place gets 8 / 2 = $4.
 The answer: 4
