Trivia

• Song: Circus of Threes
• This is the first appearance of the Three Times Table.
  • This is also the first appearance of the Numberblobs in Season 8.
• Unlike the other Times Tables released:
  • This episode is the first (if not only) times tables episode to have Numberblocks that don't belong in the times table.
  • This is the first episode where the times table's first words aren't "Welcome" and they aren't resting.
  • This is the first times-tables episode where the multiplying by 3 part is not at a verse that is higher than verse 2.
• Uniquely, this is the only Times Table...
  • ...to only have one actual multiplication part, being the "Sideways!" part.
  • ...to not end on a "Sideways!" part.
• This is the first (and possibly) only time where when Nine sneezes, he becomes different Numberblocks besides Eight and One. Instead, he becomes three Threes.
  • In "Ten Again", when Nine sneezed, he just rearranges into a vertical arrangement.
• The final verses of the song, "So please raise the roof and give a big hand" is a reference to Thirty's Big Top, where ten fours raise the roof and ten fives give a big hand.
• Interestingly, this is Five's first appearance in Season 8.
• 21 is also seen with rays in another Season 8 episode, Figure It Out.
• In one scene, there were 11 Threes.
