Why it works
The first 56 frames turn a blank board into a handmade story question, then two diagram tests make the ordinary definition fail visibly before the practical answer in shots 69–77. Brief drawing-stage cuts contrast with the 19.19 s and 19.10 s demonstration holds in shots 22 and 47; the real interaction in shot 79 gives the viewer a next step.
