Continuity mistake: The microphone on Deepak's toga disappears at the end of the adults' Julius Caesar contest. (00:23:40)

Continuity mistake: Sedgewick's final essay changes between the first time Mr. Hundert reads it and the second time he reads it. (00:49:10 - 00:50:05)
Continuity mistake: During the first Mr. Julius Caesar quiz, Hundert is wearing a ring on his ring finger on the left hand. When the shot changes to show his hands adjusting the cards, there is no ring on that finger. You can even see the indentation on the finger where the ring should be. (00:57:05)
