'Twizzle Arithmetic' printed from http://nrich.maths.org/
The arithmetic rules for twisted twizzles are the same as the
arithmetic rules for untwisted twizzles.
Twisted twizzles are a geometrical picture of complex numbers.
Untwisted twizzles represent the real numbers.
Geometrically, complex arithmetic is a natural extension of real arithmetic
because it follows the same rules.
