Abstract
The fascinating and anomalous behaviour of a chain that instead of falling straight down under gravity, first rises and then falls, acquiring a steady shape in space that resembles a fountain's sprinkle, has recently attracted both popular and academic interest. The paper presents a complete mathematical solution of this problem, whose distinctive feature is the introduction of a number of dissipative shocks which can be resolved exactly.
