Yep, another gain for team wheels ;)
Don't be too quick to bet against doors.

I wouldn't say they are still as prevalent as wheels given their size, plus they have cutouts for wheels at the back (I think the wheel definition can be stretched to circular nuts and bolts. :sly: )

Tell me you've never fixed a toilet without telling me you've never fixed a toilet. Those loops go over ears on the overflow tube.
nuts and bolts
anything that acts as a moveable barrier is probably being counted as a door
Door. The bolt nut is a moveable barrier to prevent an object from traveling off of the bolt shank.

I'll take the L here, I just saw the cutout and assumed "screw goes there!" :dopey:

If bolts can be used as both wheels and doors, they draw level... Though I feel like this would spiral into a debate of "Are there more bolts or bolt holes in the world?"
TB
I'm confused.

Is a hot dog a door or a wheel? Or both?
Apparently, if you use a hot dog to close a passage, it is a door. If you roll one down a hill, it's a wheel! :sly:

Speaking of spirals...

A bolt, even if it has a round head, wouldn't spin continuously due to the thread pitch.

Also edited my previous post as I intended for the nut to be considered a door.

Two doors, 16 wheels. Checkmate, doors.

Michigan's 22-wheelers say hi:



Though I've seen a few tandem triples.

So, so many Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars...

Edit:

To date, there have been more than 12,000 individual Matchbox model lines, and the total production is over three billion miniature toys and trucks.
 
If a door hinge is a wheel then wheels win.

If it isn't then it's still the only thing I can think of which remotely rhymes with "orange".
 
The world's largest tyre manufacturer is Lego; over 305 million tyres per year. Considering their application, that's a big plus for Team Wheel.

If a barrel is a wheel, a transistor is a door.

A single iphone 13 has 15 billion transistors. An RTX 3080 GPU has 30 billion.

I'm on team door.
 
If a barrel is a wheel
That wasn't implicit in my post, but 305 million tyres produced by Lego alone for presumably 305 million wheels as a minimum is a significant amount probably overlooked by most.

I'm not too interested about the nuances of what is a door or a wheel in this case.

I'm not sure why I quoted you. I think I meant to quote @ProjectWHaT I don't have a horse in this race.

I think a transistor is two diodes welded together so you may be able to double the figures.

If you count a gate as a door, in particular logic gates, a cell phone has hundreds of thousands of gates if not more, and a laptop/desktop has millions.
