Why it works
The exact $3,000 result appears by 0:02.5, while the mechanism is withheld until roughly 0:24–0:30. Ten shots shift from a mystery silhouette to event footage, a sourced reaction, social posts, and a layered comic payoff at 0:50–0:57; six within-shot graphic changes keep the measured 9 cuts from feeling static. The audience has a reason to follow the arithmetic and a second reason to stay for the final visual joke.
