A Schoolgirl has been found to have an higher IQ than both Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
After undertaking a test with Mensa, Anwita Patil, from Manchester, scored 162 in her age category. This was more than both the esteemed physicists, who were said to have been around the 160 mark.
The results have shocked her proud parents, one an NHS consultant and the other a mathematician with a PhD in the subject, reports the Manchester Evening News. “Right from primary school onwards, Anwita would be coming up with a few ways of solving problems that my wife doesn’t know,” said father Jay, the consultant. “We thought there had to be something else going on here.”
