Evil Sid Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 on the criteria that anybody smarter than those two can be a mensa member most of the jeremy kyle show contestants have a good shot at membership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 What a clever little chap. I wonder what will happen when he gets to school age as he will be so far ahead of all the other kids in skills and knowledge. I bet he will be bored stiff and think the teachers are thick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 No need for Wolfie to run and hide after the MENsa comment. After all the link that Fugs put said that the 2 year old mensa tot........ Potty trained himself after reading a book about it Has a reading age of at least a five-year-old and reads books aimed at seven-year-old Is able to spell over 100 words (Lt K may struggle with that one) Knows some of his times tables (2,3,4,5,10) Can count to more than 1000 in English Can add and subtract simple numbers Can type words and numbers into a computer already, and has been able to for a while (again Lt mite struggle) Can write some letters and numbers by hand and type words and numbers on a keyboard (ooh 'eck it's not looking good for the Lt) He can recite his favourite nursery rhymes Knows months of the year and days of the week, (we might all struggle on the days of the week one it's so boring quiet on here at the moment) Knows dozens of pairs of words with opposite meanings (double meanings? well definitely an all round pass there) I recon most of you male geniuses on here could actually manage to pass that with a bit of help and practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Alas can only lay claim to being a near genius, apparently there is one living a few streets away. Looking down your list I can relate to a few of the items on it. I too have a reading age of five years old and regularly aim books at seven year olds, usually miss though. I also know years, too many passed to remember them all though. know weeks as well worked with him for many years and his brother, electricians at Daresbury lab. I also know all the days of the week, including the four that begin with the letter T. I really could have been a member of mensa but failed the physical.
