But there is another detail that makes the puzzle more interesting.
What If the Tears Go Through Both Sides?
If the two torn areas go completely through the front and back of the shirt, each tear creates two openings.
That means:
- Neck opening: 1
- Two sleeve openings: 2
- Bottom opening: 1
- Large tear through both sides: 2
- Small tear through both sides: 2
Total: 8 holes
The Answer Depends on How You See It
The most common answer is 8 holes, assuming the tears go through both the front and back of the shirt.
However, if the tears are only on the front, the answer would be 6 holes.
That is what makes this a fun visual brain teaser: the image does not clearly show whether the damaged areas pass through both layers of fabric.
Final Answer
The likely answer is 8 holes—but 6 is also possible depending on how you interpret the tears.
Look at the image again and decide which answer you think is correct!
