Does a straw have one hole or two?

Does a straw have one hole or two?

This question is explored in the book I'm currently reading:

Answer: definitely not zero (apparently some people say this), and really not two, but one isn't quite right either. Then it goes into balloons and starts talking about zero-dimensional holes, negative holes, etc.

It’s two. Two holes and a tunnel connecting them.

No, there's math explaining why that's not true. You could say there's one hole with two openings, but even that's not quite right. The guy is a mathematician and you are defective, so...

i think it is fair to simplify and say the answer is one

one, for sure

A live look in on my wife after me recovering from knee surgery for the past two weeks, leaving her to do most things for our 3 year old:

A straw has one continuous hole. The hole has depth and goes the entire length of the solid around it.

How Many Holes Does A Drinking Straw Have?

According to mathematics, a drinking straw has a single hole.

A minute there registered Crosby....as Sidney...

Looks like covid was the cause..

Famed Rock Singer David Crosby Dead at 81, Founding Member of the Byrds, and CSN, Sources Say Cause Was COVID (Exclusive) - Showbiz411

Shock: it’s the end of Crosby, Stills, and Nash as David Crosby has died at age 81. His wife says he had a long illness but he kept it to himself. Crosby was a regular presence on Twitter until recently. (Actually his most recent Tweets were yesterday.) Sources tell me Crosby died from COVID. He […]

If a is tunnel running north and south through a mountain, does it not have a north entrance and a south entrance?

Boy this sure has been a rough month for losing musicians.

There is no hole. It is a plane wrapped around an empty space.

You can't drink a smoothie with a tunnel, so do they even have a point

Funny, I was going to use a Tunnel in a Mountain in my analogy too. What is the least amount of "holes" you'd dig to create a Tunnel in a Mountain? Or for that matter, a straight line Tunnel anywhere?

To me, the answer is one hole. As far as I know, no one ever said holes can't have an entrance and an exit separated by depth.

Not with that attitude

Jackie Gleason randomly trending on Twitter.

My dad used to always watch The Honeymooners all the time. I had no idea until I was older that him & the sheriff in Smokey & the Bandit were the same actor.

Honeymooners was classic. Timeless comedy.

The 80's f***ing ruled

Prime Cindy Crawford was one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Very likely who ever existed. And yes, the 80's kicked all the ass!

Oof.

Being a real spy, aka not Bond, is a thankless job. Fascinating aspect of human society.

So this is OT. Went looking for a gif of the portable hole from Roger Rabbit in response to your post. Didn't find one, but I did find this. The internet is like a box of chocolates

It takes seven men seven days to dig seven holes. How long does it take one man to dig half a hole?

There's no such thing as half a hole.

 

[mja]

If a is tunnel running north and south through a mountain, does it not have a north entrance and a south entrance?

You're confused and conflating "entrances" with "holes". The tunnel IS the hole. Otherwise, where exactly does the 1st hole end and the 2nd hole begin?

There is no hole. It is a plane wrapped around an empty space.

This is the zero answer, and apparently it's wrong per math, so...

What type of rock are they digging into. I have a rock guy to help me get the right answer @VladDrag

Lol...Demons singing Rihanna's umbrella ....

Well I guess I will need to forgive cuck and company if I want to avoid this priest's description of hell and why he went there...

Priest says he went to Hell, wouldn't wish it on his worst enemy

Priest Gerald Johnson says he went to Hell after suffering a heart attack and describes the things he saw in a series of TikTok videos.
