I like it.
Read the "1" unit side as "move left 1 unit" and the "i" side as "move up i units", and the hypotrnuse is the net distance travelled.
The imaginary line is perpendicular to the real line, so "up i unit" is equivalent to "right 1 unit". The two movements cancel out giving a net distance of zero.
If so moving down the imaginary line should be equivalent to miving left but then the answer must be 2 units long
But (-i)² is also -1 and it still results in 0
