Girl, 2, brighter than Vorderman


A two-year-old girl has become the youngest member of Mensa.
Tests put the IQ of Elise Tan-Roberts at 156 - two points above Carol Vorderman, reports The Sun.
Elise started speaking at five months, walking at eight and running at ten.
By 14 months she could count to ten and can now recite the names of the world's capital cities.
Parents Louise and Edward, from Edmonton, North London, took her to specialist education psychologist Professor Joan Freeman.
She said she was "gifted" with a "superb memory" - and put her forward to Mensa.
Mr Tan-Roberts, 34, said: "We hope she can keep learning at an advanced pace. But she is still my baby. I just want her to be happy and enjoy herself."
