Well, I was ten in 1954, and I think I read the book before I was

If you were ten in 1954 you must have been 17 and 18 when you
attended the two year Feynman lecture series for freshmen and
sophomores at CIT?
Lucky guess! I had skipped a grade and a half back in elementary
school (they wanted me to skip more, but my father declined it,
though it would not be socially beneficial), so I graduated high
school in 1961, just having turned 17. So I was 17 the first year and
18 the next, just as you wrote. I'm impressed, somebody is paying attention.
