Young female cricketer with... potential?

[Nate]

I heard on the radio that there was some 15 year-old dudette playing Test Cricket for their country, maybe England? Can anyone help me here? Cheers.

Leave it to your Uncle Ed.

The 'dudette' in question is Holly Colvin, a 15-year old pupil at Brighton College who took a brace of wickets in consecutive deliveries against the lady convicts on debut last week.

She went along to Hove as a net bowler and impressed everyone. When the wicket turned out to be a dustbowl, she was drafted into the side - and onto the front page of last Wednesday's 'Times'.

Wow ... I hadn't heard about that. Let's quickly get her Aussie citizenship and put her in for Dizz at Trent Bridge

Hahah sweet, thanks.

You`re a lot smarter than I give you credit for.

Remove the 'Go Reds!!!!' from your signature, and then maybe, just maybe, I`ll click.

Who, me?

My IQ is the product of 2 prime numbers.
It is also a prime number higher than a perfect square.
In addition, it is a perfect cube less than a perfect square.
The difference between the perfect square above my IQ and the perfect square below my IQ should make you think of a famous Greek - if you take all three square roots.

Well, 143 works for the first three but I'm stuffed if I can be bothered about the last...

Up a bit

 

[Neil Pickup]

23 × 7 = 161
161 - 17 = 144
161 + 8 = 169
25 + 144 = 169 -> 5² + 12² = 13²

Yay.

 

[luckyeddie]

Yay.

Give that man a sunhat.

Erm, how is a prime number the product of 2 prime numbers?

Read it again.

"It is also a prime number higher than a perfect square." - i.e. it (161) is higher than a perfect square (144) by a prime number (17).

Never had mine measured, too tight to pay for Mensa to mark my test.

I found a piece of paper in the spare room at home the other year inside the back of some 1980s child-psychology-self-testing-thing (something like "So, Your Child's a Genius") with the result of a DIY IQ Test I took as a four year old as 211. So I'm claiming that.

So what exactly is this "it" then?
