Suggested correction: Although it's hard to make out, her mouth is moving when she says that. Also, she says "23 hours until you die!" not 24.

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.

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.

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.

Suggested correction: Other than the few episodes where a specific time of year is taking place; these episodes are not meant to be taken to be shown in chronological order. Just roughly in the same 4th grade school year.

Suggested correction: Like you state, most of the other lockers have padlocks, which means that some don't. You can even see some lockers without padlocks in the beginning. This is not a reason as to why Arnold and Gerald's lockers having no padlocks is a mistake. It more has to do with the fact that their lockers in particular should have padlocks, because they usually have them in other appearances. Edit: While I do agree with what I said, I now think that changing the mistake's wording would have been a better option than adding a correction, as Arnold and Gerald's lockers not having padlocks is still a mistake on its own.

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: The first time he is holding his glasses there was time for him to remove them we just did not see it. The second time we see him remove them.

Suggested correction: The paper is not blank. Helga used a purple pen to fill in her paper, and Eugene put it in Harold's folder. It might be hard to see at first, but the paper is filled with purple ink.

Suggested correction: We don't know that definitively. Those were just the only two caught as the teacher noticed their tests were very off from who they were as students. He didn't appear to check any of the others for mix ups.
