Let's say that I have on battlefield creature with double strike 2/2 (it's already on battlefield for 1 turn so in this second turn I can declare it as attacker)...and I equip it with Inquisitor's Flail (equipted creature gets double strike)...and than I put down instant Boros charm and target this creature to give it double strike.
Would this creature than deal triple double strike which it means 2/2 double strike deals 4 damage + second double strike deals 8 damage + third double strike deals 16 damage?
Double strike technically means that a creature deals first strike and regular combat damage. If double strike is applied more than once, it still only does first strike and regular. Basically, it does not stack. But, as Vulpine pointed out, inquisitor's flail does not give it double strike, it just doubles the received and dealt damage. Since the re-applied double strike does nothing, it will deal 4 first strike damage, then 4 normal damage for a total of 8 damage.

Read the cards, guys. You might be supposed how many times your questions can be answered with a careful re-read. If that doesn't work, think about it! Wizards doesn't want to break the game, so of course you can't do something like use omniscience to play a fireball for 9,000 damage.

I have a question about double strike.
Let's say that I have on battlefield creature with double strike 2/2 (it's already on battlefield for 1 turn so in this second turn I can declare it as attacker)...and I equip it with Inquisitor's Flail (equipted creature gets double strike)...and than I put down instant Boros charm and target this creature to give it double strike.
Would this creature than deal triple double strike which it means 2/2 double strike deals 4 damage + second double strike deals 8 damage + third double strike deals 16 damage?
Or happens something else?
