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

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.
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?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

My post was intended to be funny. Maybe it wasn't a top-level joke but down-voting it was pathetic.

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.

You forgot to play music louder than backgroud trough them. It works, at least for me.

Then I would just start concentrating on lyrics of it!
I would better play some music with no lyrics..
Thanks

I play techno-trance or some fast death/trash metal. You can't concentrate on lyrics too long, for sure.

I would try that

My office has a policy against any sort of radio, but encourage headphones. I listen to a favourite list of netradios from the moment I sit down at my desk, to the moment I leave.
Then I adjust the volume as needed, pending how the consultants ramble at the time.

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...

Listen to Mozart and Vivaldi. Nothing like them for concentration, perhaps a bit of Bach Baroque too.

Nothing to say.

Then I would feel as if I was put on hold or riding the elevator all day 
How about something more stimulating? Metallica?

Stimulating == distracting. Anything other than ambient instrumental music on low prevents me from concentrating deeply, and if I need to concentrated totally for a while, I need silence.

1. Ear plugs
2. Play some song in repeat mode and listen using head phone. After one or two repeats, you will not listen to it at all. It will be same as silence.

I listen to a pink noise loop. It drowns out the loudest chatter and lets me focus on what I'm doing.

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.
