Do you own a fidget spinner?
Haha... I'm also a web developer. My kids have fidget spinners and honestly sometimes when I'm trying to solve a problem I'll pick up one of them and spin it and it does actually help. Like giving my hands something else to do, gives my brain a bit more focus. Otherwise I'd chew my fingers... so I guess this is healthier.

They were originally supposed to be a focusing assist, sorta like how a 'fidget cube' lets people occupy a hand. Pretty sure they were designed to help with some kind of attention deficit disorder. The best way to understand the compulsion and how satisfying it can help you focus, is sorta like when you've been sat down for a while and you might get the urge to bounce one of your legs slightly, or perhaps as a lesser example it's sorta like when you tap your feet to music. It can help channel nervous fidget-like energy so that you aren't tempted to mentally disengage and daydream, I think?

And even if there was any benefit to it, the fact it turned into an annoying fad certainly doesn't help, haha.
Well I don't have any such disorder, but while at work doing repetitive tasks, I find it does help me focus if I can vent my urge to fidget in a less distracting manner. The urge to fidget quickly manifests as an urge to glance away from the monitor screen otherwise, and my only other go-to distraction is to bite my nails, and they usually end up pretty sore, haha.
Maybe that needs to be a thing. A little device you can gnaw on like an idiot, so that your fingers aren't wittled down like abused pencil erasers. >:3

Interesting, it seem that trend hasn't flooded SG yet
PS: it would be nice to know that there is also a SGTool gate

My daughter has one, it's all the rage at her school. It's not so much about the intended purpose anymore, it's just the in thing now, with different colours and features (glow in the dark, multicoloured, LEDs, even ones with speakers in 'em).
In fact, her school's just banned them. Won't be long before the craze ends I guess.

I solved the puzzle but the site is nonexistent for me.
Edit: Had to remove an "s" from http://

Solved in 2:27, but already own the game.
Thanks anyway!
Also: on the spinners, I'm still thinking whether I want one, since I do loike to fidget around with something in my hands.
But I'm not sure where to leave it. Maybe I'd rather have something on me that I can disassemble and re-assemble.

one thing i use sometimes is this...:
Buddhist prayer beads
Buddhist Chain - Google Pic Search
not for disassemble and re-assemble, but more effective than spinner and cubes imo...
