* Helga didn't forget everything - for example, she knew how to speak English
* When Arnold pushed the door open for Stinky, it was on the "pull" side (it had a handle on his side and a "push bar" on the other)
* Nobody noticed the ball heading for Helga
* Names Helga called Arnold: Archibald, Arliss, Oswald, Archie, Artemis, Arlo, Ambrose, Andrew
* How did Arnold know Helga's locker combination?
* When Arnold reads to Helga, the book title says "GEO-" and "GRAPHY" (two words); the next day, it says "GEOGRAPHY" (one word)
* The drinking fountain was in front of a bulletin board that said "CALL BACKS", as seen in "School Play"

* Richard Mulligan (who is probably best known for starring in Soap and Empty Nest) died September 26, 2000, about four months before this episode first aired in the USA
* Arnold's cereal box has a telescope offer on the side, just like in "Sally's Comet"
* A 10 mile run, 20 mile bike ride, and 8 mile swim (for those of you using the metric system, that's about 16 km run, 32 km bike, 13 km swim) is strange for a triathlon; usually the swim is much shorter than the run, and almost always the swim goes first (probably to reduce the likelihood of somebody getting a cramp in the middle of the swim)
* Whose bright idea was it not to have anybody in the water just in case somebody "ran out of gas"?
