"Do we think there are more doors or wheels in the world??

Ah ok. I wasn't aware of this. I was thinking of cars and bikes. Not toys. Interesting. |

"What about doors on toys? If we're including Lego wheels...
Do microwave doors and oven doors count?
Cupboards and drawers?
What about the wheels under the microwave plate? "
Yep. Usually two at least. Also, the wheels inside the cupboards/drawers/other furniture items. |

What a teasing question. In the tradition of counting huge numbers by starting small and multiplying up, in my small world, I have 1 car with 5 doors and 4 wheels, I have 2 bikes, that’s 4 more wheels. A trolley for moving stuff, 4 more wheels. A power washer with 2 wheels, and then I have a house with 2 external doors, 6 internal doors, 10 kitchen cupboard doors, 10 bedroom cupboard doors and another 8 doors in furniture, so I have over twice the number of doors than wheels in my small life. If this is representative, then doors wins. |

"I’ve thought about this before, think about a huge office block or residential tower, shit ton of doors BUT then all the bikes in the world? Do we count fridge doors?? "
An office block would probably have chairs with wheels 🤔 |
