IQ Drop - round 2

You thought desperately as the clock ticked down above you. The crowd yelled answers at you ranging from the ridiculous to the sensible - if only you could concentrate! You knew it was long - a complex novel. It was massive, huge - but how many words did it have?

As the clock ticked down to 10...9....8 you slammed your hand down on the button and yelled out "About half a million."

The clock stopped and the crowd burst out in wild applause.

"About half a million? Interesting answer, Michael." crooned the host.

"The complete answer is 587, 287 words - so it is indeed about half a million!!"

The crowd went insane, you slumped with relief. The crowd suddenly stopped yelling as the host raised one hand into the air and yelled

"BUT"

He paused, letting the word linger in the air.

"BUT...I didn't ask for an estimate, I asked for an exact number. " He paused, letting everyone relish the moment before continuing: "So.....you.....are.....WRONG!"

With a flourish he pointed at the counter above you. You looked up at it but before you could see what was happening you felt a pain like a burning heat in your head. It started at your forehead and dove inside. It swelled and grew until it encompassed your whole head and the crowd vanished as your vision was overtaken with white light. It lasted seconds and you found yourself half crouched and gasping. You pulled yourself back to your feet and looked down. Your cock was now clearly visibly bulging against your leather trousers. Every touch against the leather felt like a caress and you groaned. You looked up - the counter now said "117". 10 points lost. You hunted around to see if you could work out what was missing. You remembered reading some books, but had no idea what they had said. You had memories of conversations with people whose names you could no longer recall. Not much was lost it would seem.

You concentrated on the host as he quietened the audience "Down to 117, Michael. No longer a superior intellect, just above average. No longer can you feel better than the people here -- just most of them!!" The crowd howled with laughter.

"Are you ready for the next question?"

You nodded and the host started to read

"Name the last 10 winners of the English FA Cup Final." He paused dramatically "START THE CLOCK!"
