THE RIDDLE THAT TESTED OUR PERCEPTION

What makes this puzzle interesting isn’t just the two obvious rips, but the way we define a “hole” in the first place. Some people only count the tears, while others include the neck, sleeves, and bottom hem — openings that already exist by design. This small detail changes everything, revealing how assumptions shape our answers more than we realize.

Once you consider all the complete openings, the most logical total becomes six: two from the visible tears and four from the shirt’s functional design. The debate highlights how perspective, reasoning, and even playful personality interpretations influence how people solve riddles. In the end, it’s a reminder that simple questions can sharpen our observation skills and show how differently we all view the same thing.
