About the author
Pat Battaglia
16 books1 followerPat has enjoyed brain games from the time he was a youngster. But not ordinary brain games. He was only intrigued by brain teasers that were fun, the type that are clever and have answers that, after being discovered, seemed practically obvious. Not finding many puzzles that fit this category, Pat began devising his own unique brand of word games. He started a newspaper puzzle column and it has been in syndication for over 25 years.
He expanded his avocation by writing books with the brain games accumulated from his columns. Not content to have cleverness only in his word games, he devised other unique features for his books. They include outrageous techniques to ensure the answers are not seem accidentally, a witty scoring method for individual puzzles and a tongue-in-cheek scheme to determining reader brain power.
Pat’s first book, So You Think You’re Smart, 150 Fun and Challenging Brain Teasers became an immediate best seller for now-defunct Tab Books, Inc. He followed that success with three other books of teasing titles:
Are You Smart, or What?, A Bizarre Book of Games & Fun for Everyone

Smart Is as Smart Does, Brain Games to Reveal the Genius in You.
Pat is a former rocket scientist and is known as Dr. Fun when appearing in costume while entertaining audiences with his amusing word games.

His latest book is The Cleverest Brain Games on the Planet with Surprising Answers.
