I like your videos, but I think you got a little to wordy describing the "trigger/heap" in the beginning and I think there's an easier way to say what you were meaning to say if you use an analogy to dominos (domino effect, etc).

Aha!!........;-) I was a little stuck, but since I've worked my plot backwards I have found a few 'holes' that needed attention. Thanks for the tips!
