From the [FAQ](https://catfishing.net/help#faq-repeats) > Have I seen this article before? > Possibly, but not recently! An article may be picked more than once, but not within 18 months. This strikes a balance between keeping the game fresh without becoming increasingly obscure. > > Remember, different articles may accept the same answer. For example, Indiana Jones the character and Indiana Jones the media franchise are different articles and have different categories, but accept the same answer. ---
