Can we settle this: how many holes does a straw have?
At work we somehow landed on the topic of how many holes a human has, which then evolved into a heated discussion on the classic question of how many holes does a straw have.
I think it's two, but some people are convinced that it's one, which I just don't understand. What are your thoughts?

The answer will depend on what specifically is meant by "hole." Since there is no additional context to convey a specific meaning, the question cannot be legitimately answered.
So the correct answer is "Define 'hole'."
Well in that case define "define"!
In this context, "define" means to provide a specific meaning assigned to a word - to clarify exactly what it is that one intends to communicate when one uses that word.
