Not the OP but I would guess it's not that it was unique or surprising, but that it was didactically/pedagogically nicely explained. Experienced devs might find it superfluous since they've already guessed the solution from as soon as the problem is stated, but this is something I could share with a CS 100 student and they'd get a lot out of it.

What did you find unique or surprising about it?
Not trying to start an argument, just good to know.

My initial thought was recording the position in each frame.
Obviously after reading it, it seems obvious. And if I were implementing it, I am pretty sure I would have came to the same solution.
But it was not immediately obvious to me from the title.
