Issue with radio boxes

I'm having an issue with the radio buttons in my form.
It's probably a noob issue, but I can't seem to find an answer.
 
I have a form for marking which has 4 criteria.
For each criteria, there are 5 choices for the marks, 1-5.
I have created sets of radio buttons for each criteria, and set it up so that feedback imports into a text field when the radio button is selected.
 
For criteria 1, I have 5 radio buttons, all called '1'. The value of each is '0'.
For criteria 2, I have 5 radio buttons, all called '2'. The value of each is '1'.
Its the same for criterias 3-5. Each has a different name and a different value to the other sets.
 
When I check a selection for criteria one, the box checks and the correct feedback is imported into the text box.
When I then select a radio box for criteria two, the check box for criteria one deselects, although the imported text remains.
Basically, only 1 check box out of all 20 can be selected at any one time, even though there are different names/values.
 
Help please!!!

What's the point of having 5 radio-buttons, all of which with the same value?

I was trying to get it so that out of each group of 5, you could just choose 1 answer.....
I also tried it with each button having a different value, but had the same problem...

Changed it so each group of 5 had the same name, but different values.
Still doing the same thing

Okies - I'm confused.
I renamed all the buttons in the first group from '1' to '1a', all the buttons in the 2nd group from '2' to '2b' and so on.... and now it works!!!

Don't understand what the issue was, but glad it works now!
