The Farnsworth Paradox - S5-E10

Continuity mistake: When Fry first takes the tangled Christmas lights out of the fake box, they are all red and blue. However, when the shot cuts outward to get a wider view, many of the lights have turned green.

Three Hundred Big Boys - S5-E11

Continuity mistake: When Bender is being filmed stealing the cigar, we see the "robocop" showing the footage on his screen. In the wide angle you can see he has the siren on top of his head, then in the next shot it's suddenly not there. Then he actually raises it out of his head in the final angle.

Bend Her - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: Right at the end, Bender is smoking a cigar and says something like "Emotions should be hated." In the very next shot when he has stood up, the cigar has vanished from his hand and there isn't anywhere he would have put it down.

Obsoletely Fabulous - S5-E14

Continuity mistake: When Bender and the other obsolete robots are watching a snail crawl across the beach, the snail is shown to be in the center of the screen with the robots standing around. Cut to Bender inserting a CD in his mouth, it then goes back to showing the original angle, but the snail has suddenly disappeared, and not enough time has passed for it to have crawled all the way out of the shot.

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.
