A two-year-old girl who can name 35 capital cities has become the youngest member to join high IQ society, Mensa. Elise Tan Roberts, from Edmonton, north London, has an IQ of 156 and can recite the English alphabet, count to 10 in Spanish and name types of triangle. Elise took the standard Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale test which showed she was in the top 0.2% in her age group in the UK. Mensa has described the girl as an "exceptional child"

    My plan is to divide the group into two smaller groups... We can even make it three if some of the maybes shows up as well.

    Kelly, Yair ... we're going to wait to see how many people actually show up, but the plan is to split into at least 2 groups. We'll have at least 2 great moderators in the house: Indy and Jim--so don't let the RSVP count keep you away!

    This should be a fun, but I agree with Kelly about group size, especially at Diesel. Any chance we can divide up into a few smaller discussion groups?

    Dang. . .I only had one copy of an entire text book devoted to IQ that Owen gave me and I sent it to a girlfriend in NE a long time ago.
