Before I remove the draft status, are their anyother ''simple'' properties of quaternions (ore fewer), that the task should ask be shown? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 04:24, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 
This is just a personal preference, in preference to a simple 1+1=2 test I prefer - if possible - tests that are a little but more extensive.
For example for the [[Rational Arithmetic]] test: Use the new type '''frac'''[tion] to find all perfect numbers less then 2<sup>19</sup> by summing the reciprocal of the factors.
 
Basically this test is nice because runs the gauntlet of multiple additions and divisions to come up with a known result.
