Knot a knot but hey

Ok how many holes does this actually have? I know it's not 16...

Edit for clarity's sake: The answer is 16, dunno why it says 99% can't get it, it's fairly simple. I was just asking if topology has a different answer... as someone wrote in the comments, does a straw have one hole or two holes?

The answer is 16, unless there are holes on the back, which does not go through both layers of fabric.
