## Trivia

* Chase is the first and only contestant to complete all 3 paths in 2 tries.
* In Level One, from the 30-point puzzle to the 100-point puzzle, all of the contestants only got one puzzle right. This happened again in Episode 218.
* Despite one person getting the 100-point puzzle right, this episode has the lowest total scoring Level 1 of Season 1 (410 total points scored across the six brainiacs)
* This is the first episode where the airhorn does not play when a player (Mario) is eliminated in Level 2, though this may have been accidental.
