## Trivia

* This is the final episode where Jeff explains the Brainiacs to lock in their answers by sitting down in their hand chairs.
	+ Not only that, this is also the last episode to feature a 40-point puzzle and where a buzzer is heard when a contestant makes an incorrect match.
* The names in the School Bus puzzle come from various members of the show's production staff:
	+ Bus Driver: ***Joe*** Stewart (Production Designer)
	+ ***David*** A. Hurwitz (Executive Producer)
	+ ***Janice*** Minsberg (Line Producer)
	+ ***Scott*** A. Stone (Executive Producer)
	+ ***Felicia*** Carter-Aaron (Associate Producer)
	+ ***Clay*** Newbill (Executive Producer)
	+ ***Darren*** Kane (Executive in Charge of Production)
* The story was edited down to 11 items instead of 20. It is most obvious when the amount of liquid goes up dramatically before Sushi and Mealworms.
* In the KO Round, there's photos of burnt toast, carrots, salsa and dog biscuits which weren't shown in the story.
* This is the final time Jeff introduces himself to the viewers before all 3 Levels.
	+ This is also the last time Jeff tells the contestants how they would know if they're right or wrong in Level 2, and the last where he demonstrates a BrainSurge Champion what happens if they step on the right/wrong square in Level 3.
* This is the final episode to have the Knockout Round music introduced in Episode 115 play. Starting with every season 2 episode onward, the Knockout Round music is the same one that was used from Episodes 102 to 114 as well as Episodes 122 and 131.
