Online puzzles have the ability to turn even the simplest image into a full-blown debate, and this skirt puzzle is a perfect example. At first glance, it seems simple. You see a skirt, a couple of obvious rips, and a seemingly simple question: how many holes are there in the skirt? But within seconds, people start doubting themselves, zooming in on the image, recounting, and defending completely different answers.

That’s why this image has become such a fun puzzle online.
The riddle asks spectators to count the holes in the skirt, with answers ranging from 2 to 7. Some immediately answer 2, because they only count the two large visible tears in the front. Others say 4, arguing that each visible tear passes through both the front and back of the fabric, so the total doubles. Then there are those who also count the waist and bottom openings, which further increases the number.
