8-Year-Old Nigerian Boy Comes In Second Position For UK Child Genius Contest

8 year old Tudor Mendel-Idowu has come 2nd in the UK Child Genius Competition that took place recently.
Tudor and his sister, 11 year old Hazelle Mendel-Idowu were the only Nigerians to take part in the Child Genius of the Year 2014 contest.
The competition consists of 20 highly gifted children between 7-12 in the UK who face two grueling rounds: Logic and Reasoning and Memory Recall - where they have just one hour to commit 104 randomly shuffled playing cards to memory.
