Belgian boy wonder drops out of Dutch university at the age of 9

Laurent Simons made headlines around the globe last month, as he looked set to complete a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering at Eindhoven's University of Technology before the end of the year - which would have made him the world's first ever graduate under the age of 10. "Laurent is an exceptionally gifted boy, who is going through his studies at an unprecedented pace", the university said in a statement.
