I think you will find that the duplicated questions are exercises added by other instructors. Often as practice for themselves to learn how to write/edit their own.

What would be nice is make a modification to the code in RunestoneServer that saves questions and if a question matches another question already in the database (except for the identifier) you could reject the question and not allow an instructor to save it.
