What’s a Double Matrix question? 

For those who missed the first article in this series, a Double Matrix question (also known as an Overlapping Sets question) is one that involves a certain population where each member of that population has two characteristics associated with it.  Questions that fall into this category can often be solved using the Double Matrix Method.
