Are there more eyes or legs in the world?

Think people, animals... chair legs, doll houses... the sea

I feel like there are more legs because, a lot of things have legs like humans, animals and furniture.

Owl

i think eyes because there's 1.4 BILLION insects for every person on Earth, and every insect has 6 legs BUT insects have compound eyes which means their eyes are made of thousands of smaller eyes

Dancer

This is exactly like the wheels and door debate haha but I think it is more legs

Amy22

I like they could be more legs as like objects, animals and even us have legs so maybe more legs. This is such an interesting thread

The more I think about this, the more I can find more arguments for either side so I don't have a clue anymore but I think I'm leaning more towards legs (I can't remember what I originally voted for)

Apollo

I think for eyes the main points are as Owl pointed out if we consider compound eyes to be one eye or thousands, and also needles. Think of how many needles there are in the world all with at least one eye. Even so I think I have to give it to legs because of how many insects have so many legs and also outside of biology leg is a much more robust term that applies to more things than eye

That's a good point @Apollo I hadn't thought about needles!

I guess unless we count, we'll never know

Hmmn interesting...

Spiders have eight eyes and eight legs, so we can count any and all spiders in the world out of our calculations because their amount of legs and eyes cancel each other out!

Titch

Legs because so many things other than living things have legs, i.e tables, chairs, rests/stands, furniture, etc. And like someone else said, lots of insects have many legs!

There's no point denying it: legs are so common that if you have a phobia of legs, good luck to you
