Trivia[]
- Song: Peekaboo!
- The Terrible Twos return in this episode.

- This is the fourth time Nine doesn't sneeze.
- This is the second musical episode featuring One to Ten.
- The only time Nine is a square is when he says "More than."
- The argument:
- Three: Where's the Peekaboo? You're supposed to be 2 + 1, which is the same as 3, then you jump out and say Peekaboo!
- One: You can't make me do it myself, I'm just One! I can't be Two and One! [inaudible mumbling]; and I'm only one One!
- Two: [nervous noises]
- Five could’ve turned herself into 2L+3 and slide sideways and going through Four’s door.
- When Three and Four fail to hide Five, the same buzzer sound each time I tells a lie from Mine was used.
- This episode aired 6 years after Hat.
- At the last scene, the smaller dancing partners can be seen saying "Cause I'm greater than you no one will find you!", even though they're smaller than their partners.
- If you look carefully, you will notice that at one point, Three and One roll their eyes at each other during their argument.

- In the "12th day of christmas" verse in The Twelve Days of Christmas, it has a similar style to the summary in this episode.
Errors[]
Normal Errors[]
- In the Bridge 1 scene, Five's glove is missing.
- In the final chorus, when the Odd and Even Numbers take turns singing, all of their mouths are moving.
- Since that, the odd numbers says, "I'm bigger than you" while singing, this is not possible since the even numbers are bigger than the odd numbers.
YouTube Errors[]
Subtitle Errors[1][]
- At the line "Peekaboo! We're hiding behind you.", the subtitle says "Peekaboo! You're hiding behind you." instead.
- At the line "Can you see me? Peeka- Oh!", the subtitle still says "Can you see me? Peekaboo!" instead.
