Nicole Barr, a 12-year-old student from Harlow, Essex, scored a perfect 162 on an IQ test she took recently, according to the Western Daily Press. That is two points higher than Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking ever scored.

"When I found out I got such a high score, it was so unexpected. I was shocked," Nicole explained. Her mother and father were less surprised. Her mother Dolly Buckland said, "From a young age she's been picking out mistakes in books and magazines. She's a happy, fun-loving girl who is always asking for extra homework." The Hindustan Times reports Nicole was doing complex algebra at the age of 10 and was memorizing entire plays earlier than that.

Mensa has more than 120,000 members worldwide. In order to become a member of Mensa, you have to score in the top 2 percent on a standard test of intelligence. Nicole's IQ score puts her "comfortably within the top one percent of the population," Mensa representative Ann Clarkson told the Western Daily Press

No word yet on how Nicole plans to change the world with her outstanding intellect and mind-blowing achievement. Anyway, what did you accomplish this weekend?
