Brightest boy matches Hawking

A two-year-old with the same IQ as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking has become the youngest boy in Britain to be accepted into Mensa.

Assessors at the Gifted Children's Information Centre in Solihull say Oscar Wrigley is one of the brightest children they have every come across.

His IQ has been ranked off the scale as the Stanford-Binet test cannot measure higher than 160, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Oscar's father Joe, 29, an IT specialist from Reading, said: "Oscar was recently telling my wife about the reproductive cycle of penguins.

"He is always asking questions. Every parent likes to think their child was special but we knew there was something particularly remarkable about Oscar.

"I'm fully expecting the day to come when he turns around and tells me I'm an idiot."

Mother Hannah, 26, added: "His vocabulary is amazing. He's able to construct complex sentences. The other day he said to me, 'Mummy, sausages are like a party in my mouth'."

John Stevenage, Mensa's chief executive confirmed Oscar had been accepted aged two years, five months and 11 days.

"Oscar shows great potential. Converting that potential to achievement is the challenge for his parents and we are delighted that they have chosen to join the Mensa network for support", he said.

The youngest British child to join Mensa is Elise Tan Roberts, from Edmonton, North London, at two years, four months and 14 days, with an IQ of 156.

Sounds like a barrel of laughs....not...

Good luck to him though, I still remember how the 'smartest' (nerdy) kids at school tended to be the ones that got the worst bullying.

I think in mensa the dumbest kids get the worst bullying.

Yeah it'd be interesting if he decided to do waste management or ditch digging.

Sounds like a helluva job its gonna be to raise the guy!
