I read with interest (Letters, March 30) that Mr A G Reeson ('IQ 151 And A MENSA Certificate To Prove It!') is envious of Robert Holmes's IQ of 196.

No doubt if he had that extra 45 points of IQ he would not feel the need to self-publicise.

I have a certificate for swimming the width of St George's Baths in 1962.
