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 visible tears and one question—how many holes are there?
But people quickly disagree, with answers ranging from 2 to 7.
Some count only the two obvious tears. Others say 4, arguing each tear goes through both sides of the fabric. Some even include the waistband and bottom openings, increasing the total further.
The puzzle works because it challenges how you define a “hole.” Are tears enough, or do full openings count too? Even small details like drawstring holes change the answer depending on interpretation.
That’s why everyone feels right, even with different answers.
The idea that it reveals personality is just clickbait—the real point is sparking debate. These puzzles go viral because they’re simple, interactive, and fun to argue about.
So what’s the correct answer? It depends on perspective. It could be 2, 4, or more.
In the end, the real puzzle isn’t the skirt—it’s how you choose to see it.
