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

Definitely more wheels than doors. Fun fact: Lego (the company) makes more tires than any other company in the world! So they make enough wheels for me to feel confident that there are more wheels than doors. Wheee!

Interesting just to be clear when I say wheels I mean pullys can also be included and for doors I also include cabinets, cardoors, is your answer still the same?

If we include pulleys, it seems as if we also ought to include gears. Think of all the mechanisms! In that case, I support my earlier answer: wheeeeeeels! (Can you tell I long for movement?)

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
