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?

    I thought one hole intuitively, then I started thinking… what about those y shaped straws or medical hoses that split… one hole? Two holes? Three?

      A Y straw has 2 holes, according to topology.

      If you want to learn more about topology, I think Vsauce’s video “How many holes does a human have?” explains it pretty well
