Pleased with yourself when you finish a Sudoku? Not for long. Here's the little girl who has an IQ of 162 - beating Einstein and Hawking. Ten-year-old Mexican Adhara Pérez Sánchez scores two points higher than the aforementioned geniuses and wants to colonise Mars.

The future astronaut learnt to read aged three and was already assembling 100-piece puzzles and studied algebra while most of us were still eating mud.

She's on her way to achieving two degrees in Mexico in systems engineering and industrial engineering with a focus on mathematics and loves nothing better than studying the periodic table for fun.

Who doesn't?!

NBC San Diego reports that the child prodigy was bullied at school and was called a "weirdo" or "oddball" - but she'll be having the last laugh.

Having graduated high school aged eight, she has also represented her university, Universidad CNCI in Monterrey, giving a lecture on black holes at Tijuana's Institute of Art and Culture.

The mini marvel hopes to go to the University of Arizona and be recognised by NASA for its space exploration programme.
