Why it works
The opening choice is complete by 0:03 and the surprising answer arrives by 0:08, creating an immediate reason to watch the mechanism. Eight broad illustrated scenes contain 19 internal graphic steps, so resource flows and anatomy change with the explanation even at only 2.7 detected cuts per minute. The apparent exception in the eye diagram at 2:06–2:26 creates a second puzzle, and its nutrient-arrow reveal overlaps the strongest replay peak at 2:15.9–2:17.5.
