Some Mathopolises unrelated to their corresponding page

Hello, I found a weird thing in Mathopolises. Basically, there are some Mathopolises that are completely unrelated to their corresponding page.
Here's an example of a weird quiz like that: https://www.mathopolis.com/questions/q.html?id=2&t=mif&qs=2&site=1&title=466169722044696365
Page of quiz: Fair Dice Topic: Probability
The hint: Trigonometric Identities Topic: Trigonometry
As you can see, these are two completely unrelated pages, meaning that learning the page of the question will not help you with the quiz.
That isn't good considering that trigonometry is harder than knowing about dice

Oh dear! That's not supposed to happen.  I don't have ownership of those pages so I cannot fix it. It has to be MIF himself.

The trig page does have a set of trig questions (none of which is the one you found). 

Have you found others like this?

No, I haven't.
