Oscar Wrigley, 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 said Oscar, with an IQ of at least 160, is one of the brightest children they have every come across.
He has been ranked in the 99.99th percentile of the population and has been ranked off the scale as the Stanford-Binet test cannot measure higher than 160.
Oscar’s father Joe, 29, an IT specialist from Reading in Berkshire, 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.

Mother Hannah, 26, told The Daily Mail: “He amazes everyone. We knew at 12 weeks he was extremely bright. He was unusually alert.”
