A man's debate between his pals about whether there are more doors or wheels in the world has sparked an internet frenzy.
Yes, you read that right. It may sound ridiculous at first, but the conundrum might give you pause.
Ryan Nixon put out the question for the internet to resolve, writing on Twitter: "My mates and I are having the STUPIDEST debate...
"And I am here for it. Do you think there are more doors or wheels in the world?"
Ryan's viral poll has received over 223,347 votes so far with 53.6 percent of the vote going to 'wheels'.
One person tweeted incredulously: "Who is voting doors??? There's wheels on everything. I have wheels on my garment rack, makeup storage holder, rubbish bin. It's definitely wheels."
In another vote for doors, another person wrote: "Very solidly wheels. All cars have 4 wheels but 2-4 doors. An average home might have 6-10 doors but it also has 3 suitcases with 6-12 wheels. A collection of toy cars might have 400 wheels."
But not everyone shared that view.
"Doors," replied one man decisively. "Doors. Four door cars and trucks nullify themselves. All ships have doors, no wheels. All buildings have doors, no wheels. Doors."
Another added: "Doors by far. Most things with wheels have at least a 2:1 door-wheel ratio, and then you have all the other doors in the world."
The tweet evoked 'the dress' debate on social media in 2015 in which people viewing the same dress either saw it as blue and black or white and gold.
