However, now Ben has a gray colored mug and Tony has a black one. (00:50:15)
Continuity mistake: NBA Finals-Game 1. Andie wants Ben to buy her a Coke. During this scene, the camera cuts back and forth between Andie and Ben, and the basketball game. When Ben first looks at the game clock there is a little over a minute left in the game. He rushes to get her soda, and when he gets back, she says she wanted Diet Coke. There is a shot in this sequence where the camera is filming the basketball action, and you can see the game clock with over 7 minutes remaining, even though they are supposed to be nearing the 30 second mark. (00:33:35)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Ben is changing his shirt in his office, and the women outside are watching him, when he puts a new shirt on, the left side of the collar is tucked into the inside of the shirt.

(00:05:45)
Continuity mistake: During the Knicks game, there is a shot of the scoreboard with about one minute left. The main score says that the Knicks have 93 points. However, if one adds up the player-point totals on the left (42, 9, 21, 14, 8), the Knicks supposedly have 94 points.

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the movie when Michelle and Andie are watching the Final Game at Michelle's apartment, the doorbell rings. Michelle assumes it is the Chinese food they have ordered. As she walks to the door she picks up her wallet.

Before she re-opens the door to talk to Mike she has her wallet back in her hand and puts it back on the table, again.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Ben and Andie are in the bathroom together, after they have been splashed by the truck outside, Ben's shirt is almost dry and only a faint line of wetness is visible.

Continuity mistake: When Andie walks in and surprises Ben at work, Ben shouts, "Andie!" and he places his light mug down and then it is seen next to the side pocket on the pool table. In the close-up of the dog on the pool table, the light mug is closer to the corner pocket, with the black mug. (00:50:20)
Continuity mistake: When Andie first goes back to Ben's apartment and they kiss by the mirror, she is suddenly wearing rings on her wedding finger, when previously she only had rings on her right hand middle finger (these are still present as well). These then disappear again when they reach the bed. They then make another appearance in the scene in her friend's flat when she has the cat on her lap. (00:26:24)
Continuity mistake: At his office, when Ben starts removing his tee shirt, three women, holding their coffee mugs, are huddled together glaring at him in two shots. After he flicks the ad with his fingers, two of those women are walking around at the other end of the office, doing their work. Yet when Ben says, "No way!" he turns and sees the three women, still huddled together holding their coffee mugs, glaring at his body. (00:06:10)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Andie is learning how to play Bullshit from Ben's dad, you can see before they start that she has three 7's and two 8's (and many more cards of course). Then when she looks at her cards to see if he really did put down two aces, she does not have any 7's or 8's in her hands. (01:14:20)
Answer: She could have been carrying money and/or a credit card in a pocket of her clothing.
