Math test with fidget spinner

Twirl twirl.

Fidget spinners that have become a worldwide boom. Teachers agree with research (PDF) that it helps children with ADHD improve concentration. However, it is also true that some schools prohibit bringing it in due to reports of its popularity overheating and injuries. The discussion on whether or not the school should allow it is likely to continue for a while, but Your Modern Family, the source of the story, has posted a math problem that incorporates a fidget spinner.

This is it. The test paper has a place to spin the fidget spinner, and solve as many problems as possible before the spin stops.

Some media say that fidget spinners are over because fashion will go out of fashion someday, but let's see. If the popularity subsides, only those who need it will be able to bring it to schools and workplaces, so there will be no need to debate whether or not it should be banned.

Well, there are even spinners with LEDs that can be commanded via an app to display a message. If you go this far, your concentration will be taken away, so it's putting the cart before the horse.
