About BrainBashers™
I have a first class honours degree in mathematics from a leading UK university, have an IQ of 151 and have been a member of Mensa for over 20 years. BrainBashers™ was started in 1997 and has grown from a small website to one of the largest and most popular websites on the Internet. I receive no money for placing the puzzles, games and optical illusions on the Internet. My only rewards are the comments that I receive and the pleasure I get from creating some very exciting and interesting puzzles. My puzzles have featured in newspapers, national magazines, local newsletters and blackboards all over the world. I have also contributed puzzles to many books. Many world-wide events have used the puzzles to entertain their attendees. True recognition came when I was commissioned to write and compile puzzles for a national UK newspaper, The Express, for six months. At the time, The Express had a circulation in excess of 1.5 million and led my local newspaper, The Sentinel, to run a full page spread on the site. Quite a few of my puzzles have appeared in The Guardian and The Times. I am happy to provide a quote for puzzle compilation for any media. I have always enjoyed singing and had an active part in many of my school's musical productions and have been part of various choirs and I'm currently learning the piano. I have also passed the advanced driving test and am a member of the Institute of Advanced Motorists. I also enjoy motorcycling, walking, reading and the outdoors. One of my other websites has photos of a local landmark Mow Cop Castle.
