Is this the longest recorded instance of a "snap" (identical answers given at the same time)?

In Eng-Rus pair. And all the 5 were perfectly identically, word-to-word.

As it was proposed a very long time ago and many times after that, we need `minutes + seconds' time stamps in kudoZ.

they're not identical Oct 24, 2006

One says "customer" and the other "costumer".

And the wrong one was chosen! Oct 24, 2006

The answer with "Costumer" was chosen when "Customer" was clearly meant. I didn't check to see whether the answer went thus into the KudoZ glossary. Oh well, one trusts that any translator knows the target language well enough to pick up on the spelling error in what is otherwise a correct answer.

BTW, I don't think Marc was referring to the longest string of identical answers but rather to the longest lag time (from question posting to answer posting) before two identical answers were simultaneously posted. Strange, indeed!

He was, or rather I was. You shouldn't have brought the typo to my attention. Now I'm even more annoyed about not getting the points!

The answer added to the glossary was "Top Costumer"
Not to worry, I just edited the entry.

You was robbed Oct 24, 2006

I like the justification for choosing the other answer. Oh well - happy days.
