Online puzzles often turn simple images into debates, and this skirt riddle is a perfect example. At first glance, it looks easy: a skirt with a few tears and the question—how many holes are there?
Answers range from 2 to 7.
Some say 2, focusing only on the visible rips. Others argue 4, saying each tear goes through both sides of the fabric. Some also include the top opening, bottom opening, and even drawstring holes, which increases the total.
The puzzle becomes interesting because it depends on how you define a “hole.” Are tears counted once or twice? Do natural openings count too?
That’s why different people confidently reach different answers—and all can seem correct.
The idea that it reveals personality traits is just clickbait. The real appeal is how it sparks discussion and makes people rethink something simple.
In the end, there’s no single right answer—it depends entirely on interpretation.
