Boy genius, 3, is a Mensa member

Mikhail is the youngest member of Mensa
A three-year-old boy has become the youngest member of Mensa - the group for exceptionally clever people!

Mikhail Ali, from Bradford, Leeds, has an IQ of 137 - which means he's in the top 2% of the country for his age.

He was accepted into Mensa after he successfully sat a set of tests at York University. Mikhail did brilliantly in maths, logic and picture puzzles.

His mum, Shamsun, said: "We're incredibly proud. We knew he was gifted but we had no idea quite how gifted."

She added: "But underneath it all he's still our little boy too. He still plays with his toys and demands food."

A Mensa spokeswoman said the group only had 30 members under the age of 10.
