    I once saw the same moderator comment that Question A was a duplicate of B, and Question B was a duplicate of A!

    What if I wrote a program that will take data from an array and generate stackoverflow questions and post them and check if any have been marked as duplicates.

    Elements of a set are by definition distinct. Therefore there cannot be duplicates.

    @3141 I’m sure they’d still find some

    I'd say it's the fastest bit not most efficient way.

    Way too much false positives ;)

    @devaalok that makes sense. informing participants in both questions that the question has been duplicated, and advising them to all use a single thread.
