This has to be one of the best produced videos I've ever seen regarding a data driven subject. The visualization, explanations, pace, and approach was outstanding.

While I agree its worth changing the competition approach to count inspection time into the overall result, the fact that inspection time DOESN'T count in addition to solve time taints the results in the data. We don't know how any of the top 100 would have performed if they knew inspection time counted towards their overall record time.

It was, but it was extremely enhanced by the background drum track being keyed to visual changes in the data. That really emphasizes focus on the key data points.

I noticed the same thing and was impressed by how well it was done.
