Correct response: What is avatar?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
The word “avatar” originated in Hinduism to describe the concept of a material appearance or incarnation of a Hindu deity on Earth. It’s mostly used to refer to the avatars of Vishnu, who generally descend to empower the good and destroy evil. The Bhagavad Gita describes it thusly: “Whenever righteousness wanes and unrighteousness increases I send myself forth. / For the protection of the good and for the destruction of evil, / and for the establishment of righteousness, / I come into being age after age.”
Its modern usage (referred to in 2005 as “an icon of a user in virtual reality”) was the subject of a Final Jeopardy in the Ultimate Tournament of Champions.
Also note that due to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and NFL football today, the show may be pre-empted in some areas.
