Why don't they teach this simple visual solution? (Lill's method)

Original Title: Solving EQUATIONS by shooting TURTLES with LASERS Today's video is about Lill's method, an unexpectedly simple and highly visual way of finding solutions of polynomial equations (using turtles and lasers). After introducing the method I focus on a couple of stunning applications: pretty ways to solve quadratic equations with ruler and compass and cubic equations with origami, Horner's form, synthetic division and a newly discovered incarnation of Pascal's famous triangle.
