\subsection{Searching for a second set of oscillations}  Given that the giants in KIC 9246715 are nearly twins, with $L_1/L_2 = 0.94$, $R_1/R_2 = 0.95$, $M_1/M_2 = 1.01$, and $T_1/T_2 = 1.01$, we test whether it is possible that we see only one set of oscillation modes because both stars are oscillating with virtually identical frequencies. It is unlikely that two sets of solar-like oscillations lie on top of one another, because the predicted $\nu_{\rm{max}}$ for these not-quite-identical stars are $114.90 $115.47  \pm 4.43$ 4.46$  and $102.39 $102.9  \pm 3.43\ 3.46\  \mu$Hz for Star 1 and Star 2 respectively (from an inversion of asteroseismic scalings), and the predicted $\Delta\nu_{\rm{obs}}$ are $8.85 \pm 0.15$ and $8.14 \pm 0.12 \ \mu$Hz for Star 1 and Star 2 respectively. The effective frequency resolution of the power spectrum for four years of \emph{Kepler} data is about $0.008 \ \mu \rm{Hz}$, and, more importantly, the intrinsic observed mode line widths is about $0.5 \ \mu \rm{Hz}$. Given this, the oscillation pattern from a second star (if present) should \emph{not} appear to lie exactly on top of the oscillation pattern we do see. We also investigate whether the modes show any frequency modulation as a function of orbital phase by examining portions of the power spectrum spanning less than the orbital period. However, the solar-like oscillations modes are short-lived (about 23 days from an average 0.5 $\mu$Hz width of $l=0$ modes), so it is difficult to clearly resolve Doppler-shifted modes in a power spectrum of a light curve segment. At $\nu_{\rm{max}} = 106 \ \mu \rm{Hz}$, the maximum frequency shift expected from a $60 \ \rm{km} \ \rm{s}^{-1}$ difference in radial velocity is $0.02 \ \mu \rm{Hz}$. This is less than the intrinsic mode line width, and therefore not easily observable.
