Here are the main solutions I would see, listed in order of what my
own preference would be:

1. Deactivate extra buttons: Ghost out 3, 4, and 5
(good because it preserves the overall interface, and because it
preserves the numbering system)

2. Consolidate extra buttons: Convert 2, 3, 4, and 5 into one large
button labeled "2"
(good because it fills up the interface with the correct, unambiguous,
single solution; however, new users could be confused by the changing
interface)

3. Deactivate extra buttons and relabel them: Ghost out 3, 4, and 5
AND remove their label text, so that they're just ghosted outlines of
buttons
(not so good; it's a kind of complex solution, and dead, empty buttons
are unattractive; however, it drives home the point that 3, 4, and 5
are truly _not_ separate options from 2 in this situation)

4. Get rid of conflicting labels: Relabel 2, 3, 4, and 5 to all say
"2" or "Memorized" or ":)" or something else along those lines
(this is a possibility, but it makes no real sense)
