At first glance, it looks obvious, just a simple question about a t-shirt, something you’d answer in seconds without thinking, but this is exactly the kind of puzzle that tricks people, not because it’s difficult, but because it plays on what you don’t notice right away

Most people quickly count what they see

Two holes in the shirt

And stop there

But that’s where the mistake happens

Because you’re not looking at the full picture

Start with the basic structure of the shirt

There’s one hole for the head

Two holes for the arms

And one hole at the bottom

That’s already 4 holes

Now look again at the torn parts on the shirt

There are two visible tears

But here’s the detail most people miss

You can see through them

Which means they go all the way through the fabric

Front and back

So each tear actually counts as 2 holes

That’s 4 more

Now add everything together

4 original holes + 4 from the tears = 8 holes

That’s the correct answer

8

Simple once you see it

But almost everyone misses it the first time
