“He’s not out of diapers yet, but a Calgary toddler has become the youngest person in Canada to join the ranks of the
international high-IQ society, Mensa. Meet Anthony Popa Urria.

At two years and nine months, Anthony has a staggeringly high IQ score of 154, just a few points shy of the estimated
IQs of Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. While most of his peers are singing Itsy Bitsy Spider and drawing crayon
scribbles, this bright toddler spends his time reciting the alphabetbackward and forward, counting to 1,000, and listing
the planets in the solar system, days in a week, months in a year and the seasons.

He also speaks three languages, can read full sentences in books he has never seen before, can write his own name and
many other words, and can solve complex 70-piece puzzles, among his vast skills…

Across Canada, there are only seven other members of Mensa aged 10 or younger.
