Why does an average peanut contain 2 nuts?

Question

How come theres usually 2... have you ever seen 3?

Answer 1

I am not sure but it could be the same reason  why dogs and cats give multiple births while we give birth to only one baby.

Answer 2

yes but I guess thats the way nature intended it  

Answer 3

I usually get 2, but also a lot with just 1.  

Yes, it is a unusal to get 3.  

But I've actually had a few with 4 nuts.  This phenomenum is always paraded around for everyone to admire.

Answer 4

Cuz the shell isn't big enough to hold 3.  haha xox

Answer 5

Because they're twins.

Answer 6

Why does an average dude have two balls?

To answer your question, i guess it's God's design.

(actually i have seen some abnormal ones with 3 nuts)
