Why it works
The 0:00 question card opens a curiosity gap, then the 0:29 word-count graphic makes the odd claim concrete. A twelve-colour viewer challenge at 3:27 gives the audience a task; its 3:48–3:52 answer is the strongest measured replay peak. Whiteboard drawings and live action keep a six-minute explanation visually varied despite only 6.2 cuts per minute.
