Ahh, but there are 519 million Hot Wheels toys produced per year. That roughly 2 billion wheels just there.

No, only specific wheels need tyres - where consistent contact with another surface to allow the wheel to continue to function as per specification is required. But there are wheels that donā€™t need this:

Waterwheels donā€™t need, or create the need for tyres. Granted, these are in decline (if not extinct)
The Wheel of Fortune has no tyres either. Excessive use of rubber though?, maybe.

One or two.

Two of them are dead.

And how many of these have been made?

My 12 year old tells me itā€™s definitely - doors.

Not so sure myself but I canā€™t always be right.

I have listened the the song Wheels by the Foo Fighters many times

It might be cancelled out by the number of doors the guy has walked out of in I will survive

8 wheels, plus the steering wheel, but only 2 doors
(I think the ā€œwheelsā€ are coming out on top)

It does have luggage lockers yes, but no toilet as it is used on an inter city route which only takes 35 minutes each way. (Derby-Nottingham is only 16 miles on the route this takes)
Also the terminus at both ends is a bus station with toilet facilities.

3, but only accessible from the nearside as although this is a big vehicle, it is classed as a regular service bus
Plus you canā€™t actually see the luggage lockers because they are electric and as such fit flush to the body and have no handles.

His logic is chaotic and it hurts my head. Just pulling numbers out of nowhere :eyes:

I donā€™t think you can ā€˜data scienceā€™ it honestly. Thereā€™s barely even a good way to define what a door and a wheel is. Let alone meaningfully count all of them! You can make guesses and then build maths on top of guesses, I think thatā€™s about it. I guess the fun of the question is that itā€™s ultimately indeterminable.
