Re: Geek Quiz 2

(Let me know if you need a hint)

Re: Geek Quiz 2

It is because the owners of that tower needed a way to store their water source inside their gate, before it comes out their faucet and goes into the drain?

But yes, essentially that's it. But there was no field effect here! Basically, it collects emitters...
