Such is the case with this t-shirt that has gone viral on social media: a completely ordinary garment, and yet, a trick question that makes you think. So, we ask you this too: how many holes do you see in this t-shirt? Not so easy, eh?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A very simple question&#8230; but one that makes many people hesitate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On paper, it sounds like child&#8217;s play. After all, a t-shirt is simple: two sleeves, a collar, a bottom&#8230; and a few rips, right? And yet, only a minority get it right the first time. Why? Because our brains love to complicate things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people only consider what&#8217;s immediately visible. We rush into things, forget to think, and then, presto, we miss the subtlety. It&#8217;s the perfect trap: simple in appearance, but deceptive in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Decryption: the famous 8 holes in the t-shirt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Come on, we won&#8217;t keep you waiting any longer: the correct answer is&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>8.<\/strong>&nbsp;Yes, eight holes in total. Here&#8217;s how it breaks down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>2 for the sleeves<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0: one on each side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 for the neck<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0: where the head goes through.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 at the bottom<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0: the opening through which you put on the t-shirt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>4 in the fabric itself<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0: two visible tears on the front of the t-shirt\u2026 which go completely through the garment. Which means there are also two perfectly aligned holes on the back.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And there you have it, 2 + 1 + 1 + 4 = 8 holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But why is this so misleading?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.astucesantemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/121204_ii06g_cerveau-activite-homme_sn1250-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What makes this conundrum so perplexing is the way we think about it. We often associate the word &#8220;hole&#8221; with an unusual tear. As a result, we completely overlook the normal openings in a garment\u2014collar, sleeves, hem\u2014which are technically holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another pitfall: we don&#8217;t think in 3D. We see two tears at the front, but we forget that they go right through the fabric. It&#8217;s like making a hole in a sheet of paper: there are two sides, and therefore two openings. Same here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, this little challenge plays with our perception, our logic&#8230; and our tendency to go too fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And you, have you found it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you answered&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>8<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;on the first try, congratulations: you&#8217;re one of the few who didn&#8217;t fall for it. Otherwise, don&#8217;t worry: many people fall for it. It&#8217;s the kind of riddle that makes you smile as much as it does think&#8230; while remaining good-natured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So why not share it with your loved ones? Throw the challenge around you, with family or colleagues. Who will fall for it? Who will have a keen eye? The debates are sure to liven up the conversation around the table!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which proves that even a simple t-shirt can hold surprises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are images that, at first glance, seem innocuous&#8230; and that end up turning your brain like a pancake!
