Why it works
The first 3 seconds pair an exact distance with a campaign map and an outcome card, making the paradox understandable on a phone. A long narration pause at 0:12–0:27 precedes the dated occupation reveal, which overlaps the strongest replay peak at 0:26.4–0:28.2. Across 176 seconds, 47 measured picture changes move between maps for geography, period art for human conflict, and a document for the final consequence; the cut detector's four coarse segments undercount that visual editing.
