Why it works
The opening question is drawn across shots 1–10 by 8.75 s, so the viewer sees the premise while hearing it. Shot 26 then keeps one evolving spatial model for 43.71 s; shots 27–32 compress its conclusion into a small angle against the full circle, near the measured replay peak at 1:44.4–1:45.8.
