Pythagoras twisted squares: Why did they not teach you any of this in school?

A video on the iconic twisted squares diagram that many math(s) lovers have been familiar with since primary school. Surprisingly, there is a LOT more to this diagram than even expert mathematicians are aware of. And lots of this LOT is really really beautiful and important. A couple of things covered in this video include: Fermat's four squares theorem, Pythagoras for 60- and 120-degree triangles, the four bugs problem done using twisted squares and much more.
