I just divided the total number of words in the original passage by 3, which in this case is 84 and I wrote a precis of 93.

Ahh..my apologies..Better make the difference even lesser than 10 words.

One more thing, One should not, in any situation, use names from the original passage.??????
Names can be used if the whole passage revolves around those names.. If names are used just to clarify something, its better to use the message instead of the names. In this passage, stress is not on the names but on the message.
