- Did Google even get to indexing the content
- Did Google perhaps notice the fact you used the same content in multiple  
places and then decide to not show the second url because it's duplicate  
content
- etc...

Search engines are mystical black boxes only understood by the gremlins  
(*cough*Google developers*cough*) that live inside them. You can't make a  
simple test like that and say that something is more optimized for search  
engines than another.
