## Trivia

* This is the last episode to feature the UFO puzzle.
* The story in Level 2 is the sequel to the SlimeMan story from Episode 122.
* This is the third and final episode where the contestants were given less time to enter their answer for the 100-point puzzle (5-6 sec. and 3 sec. after Jeff explains the puzzle). This is possibly why more than half of the contestants didn't get their answers in on time.
	+ Incidentally, this is the most time-overs ever occurred in one puzzle (4).
* Just like Episode 224, likely because there's only one female in the main cast for *The Troop,* Elizabeth Gillies and Ariana Grande already competing in the previous episode, and Miranda Cosgrove most likely being busy at the time, this episode has an uneven gender ratio with there being 4 boys and 2 girls.
