Other mistake: In Chapter 9 when Alex and Sayle are having their snooker competition, the math is all wrong. Alex first establishes that there are 24 points on the board. Sayle then gets 1 point, but later fouls so that Alex gets 6 points, then runs the board and gets the remaining 23. This adds up to 29 points. But Alex says that he has won 4000 pounds, or has gotten 40 points.

Trivia: When Alex is about to enter the tin mine through the trapdoor, to get into the underground compound, he sees graffiti on the wall with 'Nick loves Cass' mentioned. Anthony Horowitz's two sons are called Nicholas and Cassian.
