Inspired by this tweet (https://twitter.com/NewYorkNixon/status/1500000428985286657?s=20&t=hUmxyzP8_sED_BvwHP9VEg) this market aims at solving the most crucial question of our time. "Wheels" and "Doors" are defined according to their intuitive meaning. "World" is defined as, well, planet Earth. The market will resolve YES or NO depending on which side has the best arguments. If the case for "there are more doors than wheels in the world" is stronger than the case for "there are more wheels than doors in the world", then the market will resolve as YES, and vice versa. Each compelling point posted in the comment section/on the Discord server will be considered. Both traders and lurkers are welcome to participate in the debate by arguing for their cause. Counter-arguments, back-of-the-envelope calculations, guesstimates and S.W.A.G. (Scientific Wild-Ass Guesses) are encouraged.

After weeks of researching and comparing different door options, I stumbled upon a website that boasted a reputation for providing top-quality doors. The website's Doors Los Angeles user-friendly layout made it effortless to browse through their extensive collection, which included a variety of materials, styles, and finishes. With detailed product descriptions, measurements, and customer reviews at my disposal, I felt confident in making an informed decision. Placing my order was a breeze, thanks to the website's streamlined checkout process. I'm eagerly looking forward to receiving my order and enhancing my home with these high-quality doors.

It has been brought to my attention that I roll from time to time. I believe therefore that I count as a wheel. I am sure many others are in a similar position.

I have more wheels than doors. Wheels on kids toys alone is a crazy number. Then in manufacturing there will be lots of wheels for pulley systems, drive shafts, moving product, etc.

Logic gates are not doors, unless you are plagiarizing a CS paper and using a thesaurus to make it less obvious.

Logic gates are doors. My computer alone has millions of them.

As previous comments have mentioned, most spinny or slidy things involve wheels. Think about how many drawers you have in your house. Wheels come in many many sizes. It's not even remotely close unless you start counting every lid in the world as a door into a box.

There are as many toy cars as real cars and the vast majority of them have 4 wheels and 0 doors.

Also, most locks TURN. Therefore they count as wheels. Ball bearings? They roll, ergo, wheels.

> Are there more doors than wheels in the world? No, and I will prove it to you with FACTS and LOGIC: most doors contain wheels. You see doors *swing*. That's a *rotational motion*. That means doors are actually sticky-outy bits attached to wheels with a limited range of motion. People who say otherwise are in the pay of Big Door. "What about sliding doors" well some of those have wheels too and the ones that don't are a small portion of total doors.

Given wheels on shopping carts, on wheeled tables/chairs, factory equipment and many similar objects I expect that wheels clearly outweigh doors. But I may be from non-representative region --person sitting in a chair with 5 wheels in flat with 4 doors. (Flat has another office chair that outweighs building entrance, and that is without counting my bicycle).
