Can we settle this: how many holes does a straw have?
At work we somehow landed on the topic of how many holes a human has, which then evolved into a heated discussion on the classic question of how many holes does a straw have.
I think it's two, but some people are convinced that it's one, which I just don't understand. What are your thoughts?

I thought one hole intuitively, then I started thinking... what about those y shaped straws or medical hoses that split.... one hole? Two holes? Three?
A Y straw has 2 holes, according to topology.
If you want to learn more about topology, I think Vsauce's video "How many holes does a human have?" explains it pretty well
