25. Yes. The category was 1960s novel characters.

"An article about autism in fictional characters included him, whose “‘reward’ is to have his brave act go unrecognized'".

The category name was a huge help. I was quite surprised no one got it, since it's the Tournament of Champions. The two men were ahead with similar scores and they both bet it all, and the woman who was trailing in third didn't bet anything.

This is straying s little from Robert Duvall, sorry.
