Cinnamon Rolls and Dogs

The Cinnamon Roll Bug is where Omi counts every second cinnamon roll as a dog, leading to it marking correct answers wrong. This page outlines the nature of this bug and possible fixes or workarounds.
For a quick fix when playing the game, see the “Temporary Work-Arounds” section.
The Nature of the Bug
The bug occurs where there is any visual puzzle with multiple cinnamon rolls. Omi asks the player to identify the dogs but will also require the player to identify every second cinnamon roll as a dog. Because there’s no clear pattern or cause, we can’t get the game to skip those puzzles, so people will just have to work around it until/unless we get it fixed.
ADDENDUM: This now seems to be happening in text and maths puzzles as well. Just had a text puzzle pop up with the words "Cinnamon Roll Cinnamon Roll". Omi requested I type the message. Typing in “Cinnamon Roll Cinnamon Roll” was incorrect, so I tried “Cinnamon Roll Dogs” and it seemed to consider that correct. A very similar thing happened in the math puzzles.
How to Replicate
There is no clear pattern as to when questions with the Cinnamon Roll Bug will appear. Because finding an instance of the bug is dependent on what puzzles Omi decides to generate, ‘replication’ involves refreshing until you see something that qualifies.
Bug Status
Unresolved
ADDENDUM: I emailed SCEIWA about the issue with screenshots and a diagnostic attached on DAY/MONTH/YEAR, still waiting to hear back. It seems almost like an inside joke of theirs and if that’s the case, I’m sure there’s a work around.
DonnaTello note: this is totally on the ai and not my code so i cant fix (xXuan please remember to translate this note into professional speak before launch lol thank you an i’ll add the logic explanation now)
Temporary Work-Arounds
Visual Puzzles
The current way to proceed with the visual puzzles is to select images of the second cinnamon roll, as well as any dogs.
ADDENDUM: After further examination, it’s a bit more complicated in puzzles where each square is an individual image and there are multiple cinnamon rolls. In those cases you need to select every second cinnamon roll as if it was a dog, where Omi wants dogs. Count the cinnamon rolls from left to right and down.
[ To put it logic-wise, select all that satisfy the following: occurrenceNumber % 2 = 0 ]
Text Puzzles
Much like with the visual puzzles, the bug comes into effect where there are multiple occurrences of the words: “cinnamon roll”. Every second “cinnamon roll” will need to be written as “dog”, if it meets the puzzle’s requirements.
[ Write all that satisfy the following: occurrenceNumber % 2 = 0 ]
Math Puzzles
This bug mostly seems to pop up as cinnamon roll emojis when it comes to the maths puzzles. Count every second cinnamon roll emoji as a dog whenever it occurs.
[ Count all that satisfy the following: occurrenceNumber % 2 = 0 ]
