Speaking of smart kids....A two-year-old girl who can name 35 capital cities has become the youngest member of Mensa.
Elise Tan Roberts, who can recite the phonetic alphabet and count to ten in Spanish, has an IQ of 156, making her smarter than ex-Countdown maths whiz Carol Vorderman.
The toddler, from Edmonton in north London, can already spell her name aloud, read the words mummy and daddy, name all three types of triangle and reciting the alphabet.
Mensa, which welcomes the top 2 per cent of the population based on IQ, normally tests children aged ten or above, but accepted Elise after a child psychologist found she was in the top 0.2 per cent of her age in the country on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale.
