Solution to Last Week's Puzzler
Architecture Puzzler #70

Question

What is a water hammer? How would you use it?

Answer

A water hammer is the sound of pipes shuddering and banging from a lack of an air cushion. Sorry, but we can't really think of any way to use one.

Okay, got it? Now try this week's Puzzler:
