In the Episode of The Big Bang Theory, The Cooper-Hofstadter Polarization, Leonard mentions that Sheldon got his Ph.D. at the age of 16.

However in the episode of The Jerusalem Duality, Sheldon mentions that he got the Stevenson award at the age of 14 and a half.

So, why does this award mention Sheldon Lee Cooper, Ph.D. as he got his Ph.D. at the age of 16?

Here is a screenshot. (though I could not get the clear one.)

    I watched this episode multiple times, but I got my eyes on it this time. By the way, he got two doctorates and one Sc.D. Probably Leonard was referencing one of them.

  • With any authority? Maybe if someone tweets the production.

  • To be honest I can't even see where it's mentioned on award.

  • @AJ: I tried looking up in The Jerusalem Duality but it's not clear. Might be you can get it from another episode.

Quoting from Wikia:

The room also has Sheldon's Stevenson Award, framed near the door inside (the certificate is signed incorrectly Sheldon Lee Cooper, Ph.D., as he had not yet received a doctorate when he was the recipient).

So that seems to be a mistake.
