user6166: So there are these questions:
If there's only one of each fruit, how could Blackbeard recognize the "Dark Dark" fruit?
How is the ability of a Devil Fruit discovered?
These questions are duplicates, so I flagged the newer question as a duplicate of the older. Though the newer question has a much better and more relevant answer, so in this specific case, should it be flagged the other way around, since we actually want more traffic to the more relevant/better answer?

user63: Technicalities on the mentioned question aside, if the end results of the answer were clearly the exact duplicates of one another, then I would mark the one without a clear answer as the duplicate. 
If both questions had answers (but none of them definitives answer the question), then I would first take a look at the quality of the question and then merge the answers into from the question that is of a lesser quality into the better one. 
If the quality of both question were the same then I would probably say the older one gets preference.
In short. if there is newer with the better answer (or any at all) it should get preference, otherwise the older question get the preference.
