A team of mathematicians used whimsical "silly sprinklers" to solve a
physics mystery that has puzzled scientists for decades. Their
experiments showed that the rotation of both normal and reverse
sprinklers is driven by the momentum of flowing water, not by the
outside water flow or other long-standing theories. The results finally
provide a clear answer to FeynmanrCOs famous sprinkler problem. They could
also help engineers design more efficient fluid-powered machines.

I note one of the researchers is named as
"Brennan Sprinkle"

Bah, and indeed Humbug.
