 Ananova: 
Girl, 2, joins Mensa

Brainy toddler Georgia Brown has become the youngest member of Mensa - aged two.

Georgia has an IQ of 152 putting her in the most intelligent 0.2 per cent of the population, reports the Daily Mirror.

Mum Lucy, 44, said: "She was crawling at five months and walking by nine months. She would sit and read with a book."

Prof Joan Freeman, who set the IQ test, said: "She swept right through it like a hot knife through butter."

Lucy, boss of charity Disability Initiative, said Georgia benefits from having a large family - siblings Ben, 24, Sophie, 22, Charlotte, 20, and Olivia, 16, plus carpenter dad Martin, 51.

She added: "There is always someone around to offer her something."

Georgia, from Aldershot, Hampshire, can count to 10, draw a near perfect circle, and knows all her colours and the difference between a square and a rectangle.

Lucy said: "After seeing Beauty and the Beast, Georgia said, 'I didn't like Gaston. He was mean and arrogant'. We were amazed."
