* Like in Episode 102, Jeff was reading off notecards for the puzzles.
* This is the first episode where the BrainSurge logo doesn't appear on the big screen after Level 3. This happens again in Episode 104.

* Siera had the least amount of time to complete the 6x6 with 1.68 sec. left.
* In the Dodgeball Puzzle, counters for how many times the kids got hit are shown but for only a split second, meaning that a replay was most likely cut out. A replay is shown in full in Episode 106
