Manual Tetris burns more calories than the game
If you’ve watched the pros (like my wife) play Tetris you’ll know that it’s a legitimate sport. It involves rapid movements, coordination, and a developed skill set.
This real life version doesn’t. But because you’re using your whole arms and not just your fingers it’s likely you’ll burn more calories.

Tetris in real life…
This microscopic Tetris was created using 42 glass microspheres (1 μm or 0.001 mm diameter) in a 25 μm x 20 μm sized area under a microscope. They’re then pulled around through the miracles of modern computer technology. I for one am glad research dollars are being spent on this sort of thing.
Tetris resolution
