The Cryonic Woman - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: When Fry and the kid are racing along the motorway, just after they let go of the cars they are holding onto, they head into a lamp post. This leads them to banging their heads and collapsing on the floor, because the ribbon they were holding onto forces them into the lamp post. When they fall on the floor, the dust shoots up. After the dust disappears, the lamp post has as well, meaning that the ribbon isn't actually tied around anything.

Bendless Love - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: In the episode "Mars University" we are shown how robots in "Futurama" attend a regular college, alongside humans and other species, over a periode of at least one college semester. Bender even talks about how he attended and majored in bending (minoring in Robo-American history). However, in this episode, we are shown that his entire "education" consisted of downloading a file at the factory where he was made. There is a clear inconsistency in these two stories of Bender's education.

The Day the Earth Stood Stupid - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: When Nibbler bites the balloon and goes flying up, you can see there's a big open space between the "cream" booth and the "soylent chow" booth. And there's no curtain partition behind the booths. When he lands, the booths are right next to each other and you see the curtain.

The Cyber House Rules - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Leela and the doctor are driving out of town and throughout the episode Leela's second eye is following her motion. This despite the fact that in a previous scene we could see that she was unable to move her second eye. (00:09:55 - 00:12:00)

Bendin' in the Wind - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: During the chase after the concert we see Beck's tour bus in the mirror of the Combi. The word Beck in the front of the bus is the right way around. It should be reversed. (It is the right way around in other shots). (00:19:30)

Bendin' in the Wind - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: When Cylon and Garfunkel are singing "Scarborough Fair" note that when you see them from the front there is one microphone, but when viewed from behind there are two.

I Dated a Robot - S3-E15

Continuity mistake: When Fry and Lucy Liu-bot are in Dinkin Donuts, Fry has a jam doughnut with a bite taken out of it. Fry and Lucy Liu-bot talk and Lucy Liu-bot explains about her personality and it cuts back to Fry, who has a complete jam doughnut and takes a bite out of it. (00:08:00)

Sanguis

Rebirth - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: As the power builds up in Bender, his left eye pops out, making him a cyclops, subsequently being eaten by the Cyclops eater. After the monster dies, Bender comes out, and has two eyes in the long shot, but puts his left eye back in the close up.

Answer: The initial number is 0101100101 = 357. When reflected in a mirror, however, it reads 1010011010 = 666 (the number of the Beast). It is a parody of The Shining, where the words Red Rum are seen as the word murder in the mirror.
