See, my first thought on seeing this URL was that it'd be a site that skipped to the most interesting part of a video first. So many videos on YouTube have comments like "to get to the good part/skip the waffling, go to 00:47" or whatever ;-)

It's known as the Wadsworth Constant. Based on some dude named Wadsworth on reddit[0].

Apparently pressing 3 with the youtube player selected will jump to 30%.

Better yet, add &wadsworth=1 to the query string of any youtube URL :)
