Trivia/Goofs[]
- The year in the show is set in 1980, while the first graphing calculator was made in 1985 by Casio. Yet, some of the Mathlete students are heard commenting about an American technology company, Texas Instruments, and passing around a graphing calculator. Texas Instruments didn't start making graphing calculators until 1990.
- Harris Trinsky is seen holding a copy of the Dungeon Master's Guide. The cover of the book shows the 1983 reprint version, although the show takes place in the year 1980.
- Sam is seen dancing in front of the mirror, while the song, "Flamethrower", by The J. Giels Band, is playing. This is impossible, since the episode is set in the 1980-1981 timeline and the song, "Flamethrower", from the album, "Freeze Frame", wasn't released until October of 1981.
