When coating the buckshot with a candy coating, the spider coats well over a dozen pieces, but when he sets the plate out for the fly to find, there are only nine pieces. Then when the fly starts to eat them, there are well over a dozen on the plate - not including the seven he eats.
Sometimes the spider has three fingers and a thumb, sometimes he has four fingers and a thumb.
The quantity of the "kandy kolor koated" pellets on the plate changes from shot to shot.
When the fly strikes the match to give the spider a hotfoot, the match did not light.
