Does a straw have one hole or two?

If Bernhard Riemann says one, Imma say one. Plus Poincaré didn't disagree. They're undoubtedly two of the greatest mathematicians to ever live.


One.

 

I am going to say 2 holes because I hate to think of my mouth and arsehole as one big hole.

 

Heh heh you said hole.

Its either one or infinite.

It'd be like asking how many points are in a line

 

If a straw only had one opening, how many holes would it have? so if it has two openings, how many does it have?
Come to think of it, if a straw had only one opening, would it still be a straw?

 

The oldest drinking straw in existence, found in a Sumerian tomb dated 3,000 BCE, was a gold tube inlaid with the precious blue stone lapis, and was used to drink beer. Boss.

need pics of holes before i can solve the problem

 

A shitty one

 

Two is indefensible. I'm leaning toward zero. Holes perforate a surface. But that isn't at all the point with a straw. It's more like a slide that has been enclosed to control air pressure. You wouldn't say a slide has a hole.

 

A straw is a tunnel through which a beverage or saliva can flow. A tunnel is a type of hole. A hole is simply a gap in space.

 

Two.

The coat has a hole in it.
a bullet hole​

Bullets can have entry and exit wounds--two holes. Seal one end of a straw and it's left with one hole.

 

Your Straw Theory™ has a lot of holes in it.
