Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
The first version of this quiz was a hit, so we’re bringing it back. We’ve selected ten pairs; it’s up to you to figure out which wikipedia article has the larger word count. Word counts don’t include links, invitations to edit the article, references or photo captions. And, of course, no editing the articles to boost your scores.

In the answer portion of the question about Cheers and Frasier, it says the Wiki articles both have the same amount of words.
Good quiz!

7/10 on both parts.
Though technically, a little bit of tweaking and I could get two 100%.
