I can't recall the question, but during the countdown game before SciFiles one question's supplementary information after the answer reveal had the word "difficulty" spelled "diifficulty."

Actually, it was incorrectly spelled "diificulty".
You could go ahead and just post this kind of stuff in the Incorrect Questions thread. Just throw it on liljol's pile of previously reported grammar issues.
Don't get your hopes up that it will be corrected any time soon, though, as TomD from BT is on hiatus from our fine electronic establishment.

It looks like they've made it a lot easier to report errors at the BT website, as well. I don't believe they force you to type in the weird text anymore to prove you're a human. I always found that diificult.

I saw a funny screw-up in one of the post-factoids last week. The question was something like "Who was the lead female in The Merchant of Venice?" Answer: PORTIA.

So far so good, but afterward they explained that "Portia dressed like a male lawyer to defeat Sherlock in court."

I hope they didn't really believe Sherlock Holmes was a Shakespearean character. Pretty bad misspelling of Shylock.

I loved The Taming of the Hound of the Baskervilles.
