London, U.K. (AHN) - A two-year-old girl has become one of the smartest girls in the U.K. after her IQ was measured at 160, the same as that of physics professor Stephen Hawking and Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

Karina Oakley of Guildford, Surrey near London made the score in the Stanford-Binet IQ test administered by child psychologist Prof. Joan Freeman. Part of the test is answering questions and the tot gave imaginative answers.

When Freeman asked, "What do you use your eyes for?" Karina replied, "You close them when you go to sleep" and "You put your contact lenses in them," according to the Daily Mail.

When Karina was asked what was missing from a picture of a broken teapot, The Sun quoted her as replying: "It's missing a handle - but also a picnic blanket and cupcakes."

Karina's mother, Charlotte Fraser, 36, said her daughter has a very good memory. She can easily remember foreign words and phrases after hearing them just once, and is able to recall numbers, shapes and writing.
