Trivia

• Song: Circus of Threes
• This is the first appearance of the Three Times Table.
• 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.
    • One, Two, Four, and Five appear when Fifteen splits, but don't have any voicelines.
  • 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.
  • This is the only Times Table to have one actual multiplication part, being the "Sideways!" part.
  • This is the first times table episode (if not only) to not end on a "Sideways!" part.
  • This is the first times table that does not use their table legs at any point in the episode.
• 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.
• 1, 2, 4 and 5 don’t speak in this episode.
• Twenty-One is also seen with rays in another episode, Figure It Out.
• This is the 200th episode of the Learningblocks franchise.
• This episode aired 2 years after Fifteen's Minute of Fame.

Errors

• In one scene, eleven Threes appeared, with 2 on the table and 9 below them.
• In the scene where every number goes up from Three to Thirty, Twenty-Seven's mask is abnormally lighter than usual, which is odd as compared to the picture beside her, it shows a regular colour.

  

  You can see 11 Threes here.

Twenty-Seven's mask is a lighter colour than normal, and it's not a lighting problem.
