Problem with Grover Cleveland

I'm really glad someone took the time to put this set together-- it had been on my to-do list for a few months, but I hadn't gotten around to it.

I have one concern, though. There are two cards with Grover Cleveland as the question:

Q: Grover Cleveland
A: nth president: 22

Q: Grover Cleveland
A: nth president: 24

This is bad practice, because each question should prompt one- ONLY one- answer. In this case, the answer should be "nth president: 22 and 24".

On the other hand, it is OK to have 22nd president and 24th president as separate question prompts, even though they have the same answer, because at least there is no ambiguity between the prompt and the answer.

I have already fixed this issue in my deck, but I encourage you to fix it in the master deck here on the website.
