10-Year-Old Indian-British Prodigy Scores Higher IQ Than Einstein and Hawking

December 2, 2024: Krish Arora, a 10-year-old boy from Hounslow, West London, has stunned the world by achieving an IQ score of 162, surpassing the estimated scores of intellectual giants Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking, believed to be around 160. This remarkable achievement places Krish in the top 1% of the most intelligent people globally and has earned him a place in Mensa, the prestigious high-IQ society.

Academic Excellence

Krish, who has consistently excelled in academics, secured 100% in his maths exams and found the 11-plus entrance exams “too easy.” Starting this September, he will join Queen Elizabeth’s School, one of the UK’s most elite grammar schools, in search of more challenging opportunities.

“Primary school is boring; I don’t learn anything there,” Krish remarked. “All we do is multiplication and write sentences all day. I prefer algebra.”

Musical Genius

Beyond academics, Krish is an award-winning pianist. He has been inducted into Trinity College of Music’s “Hall of Fame” after completing four piano grades in just six months, currently holding a grade 7 certification. Known for his ability to memorize complex compositions without sheet music, Krish has won several musical competitions in West London, often competing against older participants.

“I don’t get nervous during performances because I know I won’t mess up,” Krish said, showcasing his confidence and mastery of the piano.

Chess Prodigy and Puzzle Enthusiast

In his free time, Krish indulges in puzzles, crosswords, and chess. His parents arranged for him to have a chess instructor, but it wasn’t long before Krish started regularly defeating his teacher, highlighting his incredible strategic and problem-solving abilities.

A Genius in the Making

Krish’s parents, Mauli and Nischal, both engineers, noticed his extraordinary abilities when he was just four years old. “He was solving decimal divisions before he turned four and completed an entire year’s maths curriculum in a day when he was in year three,” his mother, who works in IT, shared.

With a thirst for knowledge and excellence in everything he does, Krish is a true prodigy, balancing his intellectual pursuits with his love for music and chess.
