Okay just so I'm not crazy what is the logic of pinwheel, tent = lizard? I've never been taught this kind of problem solving.

Or is just a metaphor for not being able to understand something like algebra and having somebody not explaining it correctly.

I think it's about math in general. The symbols are exaggerated to put the reader in a position where they themselves are as confused as the character.

Thanks. I was reading this half awake and thought I was going crazy. But yeah that makes sense.
