The answers will probably be "it ain't as simple as that" but here's trying, anyway.
1. Is current thinking that strings have to wind "around" something? If so, must the compactified space have at least one hole?
2. With just a single hole, presumably there can be just one topologically distinct string configuration (ignoring winding number and sense)?
3. With two holes, three string configurations - or maybe more with "twists"?
4. Three holes give seven ways of winding - plus twisted ways?
5. How many holes are favoured, and are there enough winding configurations to accommodate SuSy?
Thanks in advance.
