I should probably post a picture of myself. I don't have count on how many times people have asked me for help but figuring it out while explaining it to me. Or me to them probably just as often.
What if (bear with me here), you tried explaining the problem to a rubber duck instead of colleagues?
I'm a dev manager of a remote team: I would encourage my team to talk to each other over their favorite rubber animal anytime, if the opportunity is given.
This facilitates both knowledge sharing and teamwork.
Yes and I agree, but the post was about rubber ducks, the whole point of which is not discussing with a person (at least not at first).
Tiny rubber ducks are actually dirt cheap from china. Keep a few in your pocket/desk, and hand them out when it happens.
