Why it works
The setup makes viewers anticipate a simple answer before the long decimal appears around 0:07.6. A second-language test at 0:13.6 prolongs the puzzle, then keyword cards and exact limits at 0:20–0:40 make the explanation tangible. The final 0:49–0:53.8 consequence returns to the opening problem, and replay peaks cluster near that ending.
