Why it works
Five tiny animal icons arrive with the spoken list by 0:03.3, then the contrast becomes an explicit question at 0:17.5. Four hypotheses refresh the mystery at 0:38, 1:33, 3:01 and 4:20; the numerical 10,000→1,000→100 calorie diagram makes the third mechanism inspectable, while the most-replayed 4:28–4:32 segment shows two rule cards side by side. The conclusion at 5:16–5:39 acknowledges where the evidence stops, inviting viewers to test the exceptions.
