Then you got 3 holes.
I just checked. No, but if I'm wrong, I certainly will have.
Most of us have at least seven, not counting pores.
That really depends on your definition of hole and the scale (e.g. VSauce goes w/ 60 microns to get 7 holes). I think we all only have one, the one that generally connects the mouth to the anus, and I reject the others. More if you have piercings.
You don't consider the vagina? Because it doesn't go all the way through or something?
Yes, that's not topologically a hole.
So you suggest we have only one hole? If you're getting to the topological realm then you might consider the nostrils to be a second 'through' hole as one leads to the other.... Tear ducts, etc?
Yeah, maybe? When deciding what qualifies, you need to set some limits. Everything funnels one direction, from the general face area (mouth, nostrils, tear ducts, ear ducts) down to one outlet. The mouth is much larger than the others, so if you say a hole must be larger than, say, 5mm (something you could reasonably probe), you eliminate all the feeder tubes in the face and are left with one hole.
VSauce goes w/ 60 microns, and I think that's just a bit too small. To each their own though.
Fair and principled.
