At first glance, it seems trivial.
A skirt with a few visible tears—nothing you’d normally stop to analyze. Then comes the question: how many holes are in it?
It feels almost too simple. Most people expect to answer immediately.
That’s where it gets interesting.
A quick count leads to an easy conclusion—two. The tears are right there on the front, clearly visible. It feels obvious, even a little silly to question it further.
But that initial certainty is exactly what the puzzle plays on.
Look closer, and the definition of a “hole” starts to shift. Are you only counting the tears you can see? Or every opening in the garment? A skirt, after all, already has functional holes: the waist opening and the bottom. And if the fabric is torn all the way through, each rip could actually count as more than one opening.
What seemed like a straightforward visual task becomes a test of attention and assumptions. The answer isn’t just about counting—it’s about how carefully you define what you’re seeing.
