Tutoring Torvald / Gerald Comes Over - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: Arnold switches from his left hand to his right hand when taking the test.
Suggested correction: I don't believe it is ever established whether Arnold is left or right-handed in the series. Without confirmation; he may very well be part of the ambidextrous population that uses both. I used to write with both hands myself in school.
Except the mistake is saying he switches hands in between shots during the test. Not that one episode he's left handed and the next he's right handed. Yes, the teacher was shown for about 1-2 seconds before the switch happened. But these mistakes should be considered valid as an actual mistake in animation rather than to suggest to the audience that for no reason whatsoever, Arnold switches hands to finish the test, and only does so when not seen.
I'm ambidextrous myself, and I often switched hands when taking tests. It was very useful for preventing hand cramps. It only takes a couple of seconds to switch the pencil to the other hand, so I don't see why Arnold can't do it within that span of time too.
I do believe he is ambidextrous. In "The longest Monday" he is using chop sticks with his right hand. Many other episodes he uses his left hand to write.

Continuity mistake: Arnold and Gerald have to climb stairs to get to Oskar's apartment, but this would mean the building has three floors, and the outside views indicate that there are only two (plus the attic).
Tutoring Torvald / Gerald Comes Over - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: In Gerald Comes Over, Gerald says whenever he goes to Arnold's house he always goes straight to Arnold's room and has never seen all of Arnold's house. Also he seems never to have met any one else that lives there, but in previous episodes we have seen him in other parts of Arnold's house and met many of the people that live there.
Suggested correction: Other than the few episodes that take place at a certain time; this series is not meant to be taken in chronological order. Just roughly during the same 4th grade school year.
