Notes on discrepancies

  • Peter Helliar is shown on the official episode scoreboard of episode 3 as having 2 more points that he should. This appears to be related to the 'Create an original two-player sport' task, where he should have been docked 2 points for losing his game against Tom Cashman.
  • This discrepancy has been carried over onto the season scoreboard, as is evident from the season score updates at the end of episodes 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
