Can we settle this: how many holes does a straw have?
Can we settle this: how many holes does a straw have?
At work we somehow landed on the topic of how many holes a human has, which then evolved into a heated discussion on the classic question of how many holes does a straw have.
I think it's two, but some people are convinced that it's one, which I just don't understand. What are your thoughts?
You're viewing a single thread.
It has two exits, one hole.
If you drill a hole in a block of wood you create one hole not two, note that whether or not the drill exits the opposite side, only one hole has been created despite differing numbers of exits.
What if you drill through a book?

Is the book closed before and then being opened after? The state of the book matters (and possibly the pages!)
I think its more or less the same, spacially. I think the distinction breaks down more with like a wiffleball, which I'd argue is one hole with many exits.
ah fuck now i'm gonna be thinking about this all night
