Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Fictional Characters) for Tuesday, September 26, 2017:

At the Women in I.T. Awards in 2017, the head of MI-6 said today the real version of the character known by this letter is female

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s contestants:

Austin Rogers, a bartender from New York, New York

Austin Rogers on Jeopardy!

Tina Doppler, a small business owner from Crown Point, Indiana

Tina Doppler on Jeopardy!

Dennis Fawcett, a painter & handyman from San Diego, California (1-day total: $24,000)

Dennis Fawcett on Jeopardy!

If you appreciate the work I do here on The Jeopardy! Fan and would like to make a one-time contribution to the site, you may do so here!

Sir Alex Younger, known in MI-6 circles as C, made the statement in January. He said, “If any of you would like to join us…the real-life Q is looking forward to meeting you and I’m pleased to report that the real-life Q is a woman”. Younger went on to say “The more different people you have in the room, in these high-pressure circumstances in which we operate, the better the decisions. So success for me is a deeper, broader range of technological skills in MI6 and more diversity, in particular more women.”

In the James Bond movies, Q is the character who devises the very imaginative gadgets used by Bond, often to extricate the spy from sticky situations.
