Jul 6, 2012 at 4:37 comment added Justin Campbell Sorry to un-accept the answer after over a year, but I still can't figure out what's going on, even with all of these references and a lot of hard work. The answer certainly depends on some nontrivial arithmetic: at the very least the fact that the Hilbert symbol is nontrivial on non-Archimedean local fields.
