Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?

Don't recall the number after a few years; but I stopped when it got to the point that I'd have to zoom to the point of needing horizontal/vertical scrolling in order to have enough space to pack the blue balls (just enough space between them to see a few pixels of lines). The grind on the last few levels was several evenings each.

If moving somewhere quiet is really out of the question (and if you can't concentrate, then I'd nag the boss a bit) I find that listening to music with good headphones is about the best you can do - in my case I prefer music I don't know too well , if it has lyrics, otherwise that can break my concentration too! Loud classical is good.

I would better play some music with no lyrics..For this reason alone I've acquired a taste for the Groove Salad station at SomaFM - You barely notice it's playing, except for the odd uber-eclectic song. Beats listening to a noise generator... :|

Hi guys, I am into understanding a huge code of a newly given project code,but my workplace is noisy with so many people talking... I have put on noise cancellation headphones,though they are not reducing the noise by 100%,any suggestions on how to concentrate?! X|
They make isolation headphones, for drummers, they work a lot better, but do get uncomfortable. Or just earplugs and silence. I have this problem constantly, and have almost quit jobs over it.

I'm truly impressed by your determination. I resignated after a half an hour trying to finish ~10th board. :thumbsup:

There's a trick to it. I finished L10 in about 5 minutes, and 19 in about 30 before stopping last night, and at that I must've been slowing down because I was tired. L20 only took 20m this morning. What you do is to look for a ball with only 2 connections since that's an edge piece. Move it to the edge of the screen and then start building the network systematically from there, remembering that anything with less than 4 connections is an edge piece. You can get about 80% of the balls in place just creating a grid with one at each point; in theory I suspect you could shuffle it so they all fit; but eventually errors will result in the edge getting rather messy. Looking at the results from skipping I think I got to level 30+ at one point; but that was pure boredom/procrastination grinding.
