Continuity mistake: When Cory is whispering in Amy's ear, she is holding a cup of frozen yogurt in her left hand. When the shot changes, she is holding it in her right hand. (00:16:40)

Factual error: When Shawn has first infiltrated the college philosophy class, the professor begins to resume the class' previous lesson on what he calls "Buridan's paradox," relating a dog caught equidistant between two bowls of food. This paradox in real life is known as "Buridan's ass," and as the name would suggest, concerns a donkey. While the name was probably changed to sound more family friendly, a college philosophy professor would certainly know the proper name and details of said paradox.
Answer: I learned the answer to this one today. It is "Tree of Life" by Garé Barks.
