The real issue is "Hole" is not desctiptive enough for a clear answer. A straw has one "Through Hole". If you dig a hole in the ground you have one "Blind Hole".

Think of a box with an arrangement of holes that allows us to look through it if we are correctly positioned.

Would anyone dare to say that such a thing is possible to achieve with only one hole? (I'm not allowing holes in corners and edges to make my point)

A straw has 2 holes.

The true answer involves integrals imo (my calc is rusty so I'm not gonna bother trying lol)
