Answer:

If two sperms fertilize an egg, things go wildly wrong, yielding a triploid offspring with 69 chromosomes with an extra set in addition to the normal maternal/paternal pair. An egg fertilized by three sperms receives two extra chromosome sets, resulting in a quadruploid individual with 92 chromosomes.
