MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: As Adam and Jamie are constructing the cube-shaped lead balloon, the narrator (Robert Lee) states that the second square of foil is cut into equilateral triangles. It's actually cut into 4 isosceles triangles, with angles of 45º-45º-90º. He probably meant to say "equal-sized" triangles, which is correct.
