First one of these found for lv.7. Seeing this brings back memories. ^^
I can't remember how questions with this problem work. I think I can click either? I only just got back to x10 combo bonus so don't want to risk it by trying...

    警官 has the same problem too. It has two けいかん answers.
  • Koukyoshi
    Interesting. Did you try answering one? I would personally hit refresh if I came across a question like that. I currently have close to a 2000 combo going on right now, so I definitely wouldn't want to risk it!
  • mog86uk
    For kanji questions only, I'm pretty sure identical answer choices are both accepted as correct. I'm not taking any chances though. Since kanji questions always have the same set of answers, I've had to skip these two questions so many times already and will never be able to answer them unless I take the risk.

    Here's the screenshot for 警官, which I encountered again a minute ago:

    Okay, now this is weird. Found a third one of these lv.7 kanji questions with this problem. What's weird is that this one is that the duplicate answer is きしゅ again, like the first one I found!

    Was going to say I haven't seen the other kind yet, where there are two identical incorrect answers in the answer list, but...
    http://snag.gy/ST6TV.jpg
    First one I've noticed so far though. ^^
  • mog86uk
    Okay... a few encounters later...
    http://snag.gy/tyjE7.jpg

    If you compare those answer choices to the previous screenshot, it's the exact same set of incorrect answers even though it's a different question! o.O
  • mog86uk
    ... And again:

  • mog86uk
    And after those three I get this...
    http://snag.gy/C6OWr.jpg

    Should probably have predicted that happening. xD
  • mog86uk
    Another of the second kind (that's four of each kind now)...

  • kekkou
    Another possible explanation is that there is a second entry in Level 7 (or Level 1-6) that has the same kana, but different meaning and a different kanji phrase (ni 二 and ni 荷 in Levels 1-6).
  • mog86uk
    For "kanji" questions though, the four answer choices are set for each question. It doesn't pick three random other questions to fill the incorrect choices unlike vocabulary. So I don't think that's it.

    We had this problem before with kanji questions. There were 30 kanji questions with identical correct answers and 4 kanji questions with identical wrong answers. Beeant fixed those problems with the levels 1-6 kanji questions a year and a half ago, as can be seen in the following post:

    I already assumed that there would be problems and take some time to get all of the bugs out. Though, I don't mind having duplicate wrong answers. I get scared when there are two right answers.
  • kekkou
    The funny thing is that I just answered this Level 7 question correctly the first time in a Level 7 Lessons quiz, even with the duplicate answer. Lucky rabbit's foot, thank you.
  • beeant
    thank you for the report! I will fix them.
  • MintyHippo
    didn't see this one listed here so I'll add it ^^

  • MintyHippo
    Also I always thought 恋愛 was more like "true love" or "pure love"?
  • mog86uk
    @beeant, Nice. Thanks for sorting them out so quickly.

    @kekkou, I'm fairly certain both answers were fine to click anyway. It's only vocabulary questions where only one would be correct.

    @Minty, I had answered that one a couple of times too but didn't notice. ^^;
  • MintyHippo
    I love this word "胃袋"... Stomach bag... Are there actually any cases of this being used outside of medical terminology?
  • mog86uk
    Found a fifth question with two identical correct answers. 景観. Interesting that it's けいかん again. At least I'm not repeatedly skipping them anymore, now that I remember being able to click either one in the past.
    http://snag.gy/2g8Cx.jpg

    @Minty, I've definitely seen it used outside of JCJP, but it may well have just been in another language learning resource like SFA, lol.
  • MintyHippo
    @mog lol np, just curious ^^

    Found another question with two incorrect answers as it turns out... I only knew it as めがね so I just guessed at the double thinking it would be correct... turns out it wasn't XD (should have taken a screen before messing up but oh well.)

    Found another one with two incorrect answers too. Going to need to write a proper list of these soon. Think we're at 5 duplicate correct answers and 7 duplicate incorrect answers?
    http://snag.gy/oytUM.jpg

    @Minty, I mentioned that question in another post talking to Kekkou. However I didn't even notice there were any duplicate answers since I knew the reading for the first kanji and didn't look much further. (Naruto probably helped out here, things like Neiji's びゃくがん【白眼】technique, lol.) ^^
  • MintyHippo
    @Mog I just came across that one you posted, lucky I refreshed the page before adding to the list >< Also I love it when you recognise something from anime ahahaha.
  • mog86uk
    Missed this one first time around. 海軍. Another question with identical incorrect answers, except this time they're not きょうそう (think all the other 8 of this type were though?)
    http://snag.gy/tu4S3.jpg

    So, to keep track, we're now at 5 identical correct + 9 identical incorrect.
  • mog86uk
    争う = あらがう ? I was looking hard for あらそう but it wasn't in the answers. It was obvious which answer to click still, since only one answer ends in う... Some interesting word choices for level 7. :D
  • mog86uk
    Sixth question with identical correct answers, 競争【きょうそう】:
    http://snag.gy/cTwCc.jpg
  • mog86uk
    Lv7 kanji question with duplicate correct answers:
    1 旗手    きしゅ
    2 警官    けいかん
    3 機首    きしゅ
    4 競走    きょうそう
    5 景観    けいかん
    6 競争    きょうそう

    Lv7 kanji question with duplicate wrong answers:
    1 共存    きょうそう
    2 共通    きょうそう
    3 鏡台    きょうそう
    4 競争入札  きょうそう
    5 峡谷    きょうそう
    6 眼鏡    きょうそう
    7 共同    きょうそう
    8 教材    きょうそう
    9 海軍    かいさつ

    Can probably see a pattern there? The questions seem to come in pairs, at least for the ones with duplicate correct answers. If this is also the case for the duplicate wrong ones, then we've probably missed one with a duplicate かいさつ answer? ^^
  • beeant
    thank you for the list! this list will come handy for me when I'm fixing the database.
  • sasmith
    "true love" or "pure love" to 純愛 ''じゅんあい ''
  • beeant
    I just fixed all that mog listed. thanks for the report!
  • mog86uk
    @beeant, Only just saw your latest reply but I have already encountered some of those questions and noticed they seemed to be fixed. Nice. ^^

    I should probably have added the ones which still aren't fixed from lower levels though...

    Lv2 kanji questions with duplicate wrong answers:
    1 今夜  こんよる  http://snag.gy/fB88q.jpg

    Lv4 kanji questions with duplicate wrong answers:
    1 決定  けって   http://snag.gy/YXvdU.jpg
    2 資本  せいふく  http://snag.gy/RTY0Q.jpg

    I reported those three a year ago, but they were part of a much longer list: http://japaneseclass.jp/feeds/comment/4563

    作る in that old list wasn't fixed at the time either, however it got fixed later when someone else reported it.

    Also, for 決定, it's only the lv4 (ch36) version that has the problem. The lv5 (ch43) version of 決定 is fine: http://snag.gy/jXoey.jpg

    Hopefully you will still see this reply, as maybe you won't get a notification for this old post? I wonder if I should have made a new post? I would be nice to have these final three questions fixed. :)
  • beeant
    Sorry for taking too long to fix this >.<
    I just fixed the three questions. Thank you!
