History Trivia / FigureItOut

** The second half of another Season 2 episode with Kevin, Shane Sweet, Josh Server and Lori Beth has been missing a long time too. Shane was slimed in the first half for "Burping" already and got slimed again in the second half for "Talking to Another Panelist" when passing to Lori Beth and addressing her directly while doing so. The section/episode then ended with the game "Lightnin' Letters" as performed by Kevin since the panel successfully figured out the talent.

* The slime of the original series was made of colorant, vanilla pudding and water.[[note]]Wrestling/ChrisJericho correctly described it as "thin pudding" during one appearance.[[/note]] In the second season onwards, they added more water to it for fluency in the liquid.
* The first season has a notoriety where the first round prizes were props of former Nickelodeon shows filmed in Nickleodeon Studios in Florida, especially the game shows such as ''Series/NickelodeonGUTS'' and its sequel, ''Global GUTS'', ''Series/DoubleDare1986'' and even ''Series/AllThat'' before moving production to New York and finally moving to Los Angeles.
* The original version is one of the last 22-minute Nickelodeon [[GameShow game shows]] produced in Florida (with ''Double Dare 2000'' being the last). They filmed at least ''4 episodes'' at the same day. You can count on it more obviously in the clothes changes of Summer as the host in the first season, given that the audience rotated as soon as the people were waiting in line outside the studios. Normally, a season of more or less 40 episodes was filmed/taped in two-three weeks.[[note]](Also noted that Danny Tamberelli had claimed in several sources that he had to bathe 4 times during each shoot because of the slime being food-contented and being all sticky at the end of the taping)[[/note]]

* NoBudget: Downplayed for the Secret Slime Action prize. Originally a merchandise item, it became an article of ''Figure it Out'' branded clothing in the second season.

* MissingEpisode: One episode from season 2 was banned because one of the second contestant's talent involved leaking inhaled milk from his eyes and was objected by the parents, even ''after'' a "Do not try this at home" disclaimer was put up.

* MissingEpisode: One episode (presumably from season 2) was banned before it could have aired, because one of the contestant's talent involved inhaling milk and squirting it from his eyes, and was objected by the parents, even ''after'' a "Do not try this at home" disclaimer was put up.
