Brainiac of the Year Awards for 2022
6 Jan 2023
The new ERJ Brainiac of the Year Awards have been decided using a system through which points are awarded for answers sent in during the year
While our number-crunching of the ERJ Brainteaser results throughout 2022 revealed clear leaders in each category, we decided it fairer to announce the winners without the numerical scores:
Overall Winner: Brainiac of the Year Award:
Andrew Knox, Rubbond International, The Netherlands
European Region Award (too close to call)
John Bowen, rubber industry consultant, UK
Michele Girardi, Scame Mastaf Spa, Italy
Americas Region Award

Rest of the World Award
Mehmet Koral, C&C Endüstriyel Dan??manl?k, E?itim ve Mümessillik, Turkey
