    "correctAnswer" : false
  }, {
    "answer" : "Flex your foot up, toward your head.",
    "correctAnswer" : false
  }, {
    "answer" : "Take a warm bath.",
    "correctAnswer" : false
  }, {

  }, {
    "answer" : "If you have a cramp that lasts longer than 15 or 20 seconds.",
    "correctAnswer" : false
  } ],
  "multiSelect" : false,
  "explanation" : "Nearly everyone has a cramp at some point in their lives, and they can last anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes.

  }, {
    "answer" : "None of the above.",
    "correctAnswer" : false
  } ],
  "multiSelect" : false,
  "explanation" : "Studies have found that statins, along with some diuretics and beta-blockers, among other drugs, can trigger night cramps.

    "correctAnswer" : true
  } ],
  "multiSelect" : false,
  "explanation" : "Although placing soap under the sheets is an unproven remedy, it's been embraced by decades of cramp sufferers. Some speculate that the magnesium in some soaps somehow wards off cramps; others call it a fresh-smelling placebo.",
