Spencer was only 22 when he first started working at the BAU. In Season 4, Episode 7, there's an newspaper article that stated Spencer's age when he joined the FBI and that his first case was the Blue Ridge Strangler.

In the earlier seasons, Reid and Gideon would play chess while they rode the jet to and from cases. After Gideon died, Rossi stepped in and finished playing the game that Gideon never finished.

In the series' first episode we learned that Reid's IQ is a whopping 187.

Which of these characters is obsessed with Reid and nearly killed his mother?

In Season 12, Spencer was arrested for the murder of Nadie Ramos. Later on, we found out that Cat assigned someone else to commit the murder, frame Spencer, and drug him — which was why he couldn't remember what happened.

Okay, not bad! You've probably seen a few episodes here and there but you're not _obsessed_ with it by any means. You definitely know who Spencer is, but you don't lie awake at night thinking about his life story. Still, you did a great job!
