Question About Misspellings and Having More Ads Than Pages

What happens if there is only 1 page of results and more than 8 ads?

So what happens to the additional ads for a term that doesn't have a second page to go to?

Does this mean that ONLY the top 8 Adwords ads are ever shown for this term, even if there are many more?

Or does Google have a "fix" for this where they would then simply rotate ALL the ads so that all ads will eventually be shown?

This question just entered my mind after seeing the results for the misspelled keyword:

stonckings

[google.com...]

You see, it has only 3 natural listings and 6 AdWords ads.

TIA

Wow, this may be the latest ever for my first post o' the day on WebmasterWorld!

Christyl Stevens, a single page of search results doesn't happen very often - but when it does, I'm about 99.3% certain that only the top 8 ads will be shown, even when the page is refreshed, or the search is done again.

I'll try to get this confirmed, and post again on Tuesday to cover that extra .7% of uncertainty. ;)
