Two-year-old boy 'has IQ of Hawking'

A 2-year-old has become the youngest boy in Britain to be accepted into Mensa.

Oscar Wrigley has an IQ of at least 160 - the same as Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein.

The child's father Joe 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."

Meanwhile, Oscar's mother Hannah told the Daily Mail: "He amazes everyone. We knew at 12 weeks he was extremely bright. He was unusually alert.

"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'."
