Answer #1
When conditions are right, two rainbows can appear at once, although they won’t be the exact same. One will have the colors reversed, going from violet to red instead of red to violet. This is a result of the double refractions and reflections inside the water particles. Of course, the odds of finding a leprechaun with a pot of gold at the end of a double rainbow are double that of the odds of finding them at the end of a single rainbow. That’s just simple math.
