"Every door has a hinge or two containing bearings (wheels) then add all the wheels in motors and engines before you count wheels and there is only one winner." Is it a wheel though? What defines things as specifically a wheel for this specific question, anything that covers a doorway could be counted as a door. A cat flap could be a door if we break it down. A curtain could essentially be viewed as a door. As OP says advent calenders have doors (no bearing hinges). | |||

"Every door has a hinge or two containing bearings (wheels) then add all the wheels in motors and engines before you count wheels and there is only one winner." Doors on millions of advent calendars don't have hinges. Bearings are not wheels. Cruise ships have hundreds of doors and no wheels Coffins have 2 doors Every car has doors, but not many houses have wheels | |||

It definitely needs precis definitions and scope, so that we are discussing the same things. | |||

"I don't believe you can count advent calender doors. They're flaps, not doors! " But windows and flaps are essentially doors, they are coverings that allow access to an area. A trapdoor is a door. | |||

" Actually now you've said that, my telly stand has 6 wheels. Also, just realised I have 8 more doors than I counted.

"I'm sorry, who said there's wheels in hinges and engines? Lol Google it…. I don't need to Google it, I know there isn't You clearly do Very much no, I don't." You might do... hinge leaf plate bends into a knuckle joint that rotates around a locking/central pin (or axle). High load hinges also have additional bearings and washers (more wheels). Engines have numerous gears, cogs, pullies, flywheels, washers and bearings. All wheels. Still a *lot* more doors though... | |||

Should have been eyelids. No arguments about insects lacking eyelids, of course "Tch. Everyone knows eyes are windows... eyelids are doors by definition just like the ostia in an ants heart - avg 4 pairs of teeny tiny doors in each of the conserative estimate of 10¹5 ants - and before we count any other insects or creatures like mammals that have a lot more.
Doors rule. | |||

" That means half a billion people living in houses or apartments all with room doors, with cupboards with doors, white goods with doors etc. Not saying which is right just pointing out bike riders have doors as well as wheels | |||

If we are saying advent calendars have doors Then every cog in every machine, watch, toy, etc count as wheels I’m going for wheels " That's the problem isn't it. Does a cog count as a wheel due to it being well... Cog shaped. But does any kind of flap count as a door (because it technically is of you go far enough in to it). The criteria and parameters set by the question are far too broad to even settle on an answer that could be defined. | |||

My advent calendar definitely has doors, as much as I’d love to open a different pair of flaps every day in December and eat something tasty from inside each , I can’t see it happening "...a round biscuit can be a wagon wheel - but it's still not a wheel, just like a rubber tyre off a car is not a wheel, its a tyre. Cogs most definitely are wheels. They have axles (fixed or dynamic) and and can reduce friction or transfer energy. The teeth on a cog just assist grip. Think tread on your tyre but bigger. Doors do not have to fit a human through to be a door - they are essentially a flap that prevents something from going somewhere when closed. | |||
