Wheels or Doors

[slymunn]

Advent calendars have loads of doors...and chocolate inside.

 

So I'm saying doors!

Well there's more wheels than doors in my home at the moment. There's about six suit cases, two office chairs and a portable radiator all with wheels. If we're counting them then every draw in the house has wheels in. 

An office will have say five doors and then each office chair will have five wheels. 
 

There are multiple wheels we dont even see in engineering

Wheels, surely? I have far more wheels in my house that I can count, and probably loads more that I can't even see. My dishwasher alone has 16 visible wheels and only one door.

 

Then there are all the supermarket trolleys, office blocks with hundreds of chairs with wheels and a computer mouse at every desk, all the wheels in drawer runners, toy vehicles, the lego wheels already mentioned, the list for wheels is endless. 

 

Also, don't advent calendars have windows?

For me, it's got to be wheels. 

 

As Cardiff Fox says, look at office chairs as an example - 5 wheels on each that we don't even think of. Drawers often have wheels in to allow them to slide in and out. 

 

Then look at things like Hot Wheels toy cars and Lego. Lego is the worlds biggest provider of Tyres so that's a whole raft of wheels that again slips under the radar.

If chair casters count it's absolutely wheels. Counted a 5/1 ratio of wheels to doors in my office purely on the fact that every chair had 5 wheels on it.

Do the doors on advent calendars count? Where do you draw the lines on wheels? Do the flat bearing wheels count as wheels?

Do those toy cars not have doors?

If we are talking any type of wheel then it’s Wheels by a lot.

This came up in work today and I nailed my colours to doors and went too deep to get out as my colleague put together a lot of great  points for Team Wheels, most of it based around offices which I now see on here. 

 

I'm starting to think it might be wheels now but I've build up such an emotional attachment with Team Doors that I can't face doing a Sol Campbell just yet.

 I'm guessing that the door has to be openable to be classed as a door?  This may well be another debate!

Not all toy cars have openable doors, but they all have wheels.

Lego (in the old basic sets) did have some doors, but often didnt.  They all had wheels though. 

Train sets - loads of wheels - no openable doors. 

Scalextric.  Wheels but non-openable doors.

Kids wooden toys - all have wheels but not doors.

But does a door need to open to be a door? What about say, a door in a pile of rubbish, or any door off it's hinges, it's still a door isn't it. Like a toy car whether the door opens or not if it's modelled on the car then it's a door isn't it.

People are thinking too small by considering houses. It's commercially and industrially where the magnitude of both is far greater.

 

There's fewer vehicles and they're more likely to have fewer wheels in the developing world but the number of doors is likely to be almost as high, proportionately. 

 

Tokyo is the biggest city in the world, huge volume of high-rises and good public transport means it's likely to be doors there rather than wheels. 

[Sly]

Is a window a door? 
Cupboard door? 
House Doors? 
Trap door? 
Car door? 
Advent calendars? 
Ships and bots have doors? 
 

It really depends on what your define as a wheel, or a door I guess.

Went to the gym earlier and their were hundreds of lockers there (each with a door)

 

Think about how many lockers there are in the world...

A door off it's hinges counts, a drawn on door would not in my opinion..... otherwise you could count photos of cars etc.

There are 25 doors in my kitchen alone!

The 700,000,000 wheels that Lego annually produce makes that irrelevant.

I'm now only selling 3 door cars. Just to up that average. My boss ain't happy, not because I'm only focusing on 3 door cars, it's mainly because he's a door guy. Idiot

Have any drawers?  Each drawers has at least 2 wheels.

[Jon the Hat]

My microwave has 1 door and 3 wheels!

[leicsmac]

For me, this problem is easier to consider when you consider common objects/places that have both and look at which one they have more of:

 

Cars have more wheels than doors (and don't forget that billions of the Earth's population use bikes, either motorised or otherwise, as transport, and they have no doors at all).

Toys have more wheels than doors.

Houses...it seems pretty even overall.

 

Overall, I think the answer has to be wheels, unless someone has some other commonplace environment containing an awful lot of doors that I've missed here.

This seems like one of those arguments were you quickly pick a side and don't change it, regardless of any evidence or further thought.... Like religion!
