Nami is trying to solve a “Spot seven differences” puzzle but falls one answer short. Itoshiki takes heed of this and proceeds to instruct the class to spot seven mistakes they’ve made in their lives. After debating with his thoughts out loud he then decides that the class should identify ten life mistakes the students have made. Kaere turns the tables on Itoshiki by asking that he identify some of his mistakes first. Itoshiki easily does so and soon goes on a tirade from being born, how it was a mistake to teach the class, and several other trivial things.

Itoshiki then asks the class to name three mistakes the class has made as a whole. He answers his own question by saying they made the mistakes of enrolling in the school, getting chosen for his class, and getting him for a teacher.
