More information about Final Jeopardy:
Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock Holmes’ brother, first appeared in “The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter”. While Mycroft is said to be even more skilled at deduction than Sherlock, according to Sherlock, Mycroft:
…he has no ambition and no energy. He will not even go out of his way to verify his own solutions, and would rather be considered wrong than take the trouble to prove himself right.
However, Mycroft puts his supreme skills to use serving as a trusted advisor to the British government.
