Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What might be the result of a baseball game being rained out?

Answer: Double header

In times past, there were many double headers scheduled in baseball. Today, this is a rarity, except when a game has to be cancelled because of bad weather and time constraints require two games to be played back to back in the same day, which is called a double header.
2. What is a popular flavor for Wrigley's gum?

Answer: Doublemint

Wrigley's gum offers the flavor doublemint. There was a catchy commercial sung by twin girls which went "Double your pleasure, double your fun..."
3. What is an enticement that grocery stores sometimes offer in an effort to increase customers?

Answer: Double coupons

Grocery stores will sometimes offer "double coupon" days, when the savings listed on the coupon will be doubled. Most often there is a limit to the amount, and rarely will a coupon of 50 cents or higher be doubled.
4. What would qualify as a traffic violation in the United States?

Answer: Double parking

If you park parallel to a car that is parked at the curb, this is called double parking and is not permissible. It impedes the flow of traffic on the street. If you think it's a quick fix and you can just run into a store for a small purchase, you will more than likely receive a ticket.
5. What is a phrase that means having more than one meaning?

Answer: Double entendre

"Double entendre" is a French term denoting double meaning. Most often, the second meaning has an off color connotation.
6. What is diplopia?

Answer: Double vision

Double vision is seeing two of the same object when only one is present. This could be cause by an astigmatism or possibly cataracts, Graves disease or more serious problems. In any case, it warrants a visit to your eye care professional for evaluation and treatment.
7. What is the phrase that describes trying someone for the same offense twice?

Answer: Double jeopardy

In the United States, the Fifth Amendment contains a double jeopardy clause which states that a person has the right to be tried in federal court only once for the same offense. If found innocent or guilty, this verdict cannot be reversed except by a grand jury.
8. What are you very likely to have if you have three year old twin boys?

Answer: Double trouble

I have a good friend who has twin boys and the stories she used to tell about their antics were unbelievable. What one didn't think of, the other one did. It seems funny now, but it wasn't when they were growing up.
9. What is a term for a baseball coup which involves quick thinking and fast movement?

Answer: Double play

In American baseball, getting two men out on the same play is called a double play. Most often it is when a runner from first base is forced out at second and the throw to first is caught before the base runner arrives. It can also be an out after a fly ball is caught and another runner is tagged.
10. What "double" phrase could refer to a sandwich or a bus?

Answer: Double decker

A double decker sandwich is most often a club sandwich with multiple fillings between three or more slices of bread or toast. A double decker bus is frequently a tour bus and can be seen frequently in London.
