I doubt it, but still, it's an interesting question.

Nope, unless your gonna count x-ray vision from the second doubled rook
Only one check can be given by moving a piece
Only one check can be given by a piece through where the last piece was.
Impossible in standard chess, but possible with the addition a fairy piece: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightrider_(chess)
An en passant capture could trigger a double discovered check by a nightrider and a rook while also attacking the king with the pawn.
Never ever, except for illegal moves.
The "3rd" check could only be an existing one.Hypothetically.Add a discovered double-check...et voila! Pretty much what @Sarg0n said.
In addition to #2, you can actually give a double "discovered" check by taking en passant. But still no triple check.
It's a great question, and difficult to explain why not. One can see how a N+ can discover a R+ or a B+, yet it seems it can't discover both at the same time. It's impossible to place a rook and bishop attacking the same square with another single square in the line of fire of both (where one could have placed the N to move away and discover two checks). The reason is that a diagonal and a vertical/horizontal can intersect only once. If that intersecting square is the king's square, no other single square can block them both. If a single square blocks them both, then there is no second square that they would both attack if the blocking piece were removed.
It's not a great question at all..it's a spam thread
I agree that for a proven moron with a 1200 rating, a question that forces one to think is not great at all.
