Why It’s
So Hard The reason this puzzle is so difficult is that we usually only count the holes visible on the front. But if the hole goes all the way through the T-shirt, there must be another hole on the back—just like punching a hole through a piece of paper. The same logic works here.
Additionally, we don’t always think of normal holes in a jersey (like the sleeves or collar) as « holes, » even though they technically are. It’s this combination of visual perception and logical reasoning that makes this puzzle so challenging—and so engaging!
