Why it works
A familiar two-speed example runs through 0:09, letting viewers predict the sum before a short pause and blunt reversal at 0:12.6. The same doodle returns for the overprecise correction around 0:21.4, a replayed moment, then a clean equation card arrives at 0:26.6. Three large page changes keep the 32-second one-shot explanation coherent while the 244-wpm voice supplies urgency.
