Continuity mistake: When we see the bathroom again after we hear about Amanda, the clock is at 11:35. When Adam breaks the glass, just a few continuous minutes later, the time is 12:20. (00:30:00)

Other mistake: When Adam is saying to Dr. Gordon "What I saw was you get into your car, that's it," Leigh Whannell's natural Australian accent slips through on the last two words. (01:18:09)

Other mistake: When you see the shot of the camera watching Adam and Dr Gordon, you can see a plank sticking out directly in front of the camera. A little later, when you see the camera's view, which has some incredibly wide views, you can't see the plank, which would definitely have to be visible to see both of the people in the bathroom. (00:29:40)

Other mistake: Adam couldn't have been asleep underwater without dying. (00:01:00)

More trivia for Saw

Question: This is a question regarding the scene where Ali tells Dr. Gordon over the phone to not believe Adam's lies. How does Ali know about Adam in the first place? From what you gather, it is only Detective Tapp that knows Adam since he was the one who paid Adam in secret to follow and take pictures of Dr. Gordon. So, was it Zep that told Ali about Adam? If so, how did Zep know about Adam? From Jigsaw? Any further details would be appreciated. Thanks.

Chosen answer: Yes. You pretty much guessed correctly. We can assume that Jigsaw told Zep to tell Ali to tell Dr Gordon, "do not believe Adam's lies..." Don't forget that Jigsaw spends hours planning his tests so it would be safe to say that he had planned it all in the beginning.
