A DEBATE has gone viral across social media, with people on both sides joining in on the fun.
The diligently discussed topic in question: are there more doors in the world, or are there more wheels?
The White House – home to the president of the United States and their family – serves as a government office building in Washington DC.
Due to its substantial size and many rooms and hallways, the White House has several doors within its walls.
In total, there are 412 doors throughout the building.
Alongside the 412 doors are 147 windows, with 35 bathrooms and 132 different rooms.

Currently, President Joe Biden and his family live in the White House alongside their two pets: Commander and Willow.
The First Family previously owned two other dogs, Champ and Major.
James Hoban – an Irish architect born in the 1750s – is credited with the design of the original White House.
America’s first president, George Washington, chose the site to construct the White House in 1791.
Eight years later, the still-unfinished White House welcomed its first residents: John Adams and his wife, Abigail.
After a fire caused by the War of 1812, the White House needed to be reconstructed.
Hoban once again worked on the project, with James Monroe moving into the house in 1817.
In March of 2022, Twitter user Ryan Nixon sparked a worldwide conundrum across social media.
“My mates and I are having the STUPIDEST debate…” he wrote at the time.
“Do you think there are more doors or wheels in the world?”
Thousands of users on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok began sharing their opinions on the topic.
While many people said more wheels exist, several insisted on more doors.
According to one TikToker, Kate: “I was an avid believer that there were more doors than wheels because there are so many skyscrapers and hotels.”

She continued: “BUT there’s probably a chair in each of those rooms with four wheels … and what about how many drawers there are? DRAWERS HAVE TINY WHEELS.”
Another user added: “I was fully team wheels until my flatmate brought up advent calendars…”
