Sometimes all the answers we need are right in front of us. We just have to look for them. Not enough people stop to think about what they’re looking at, which is why it’s so easy to stump the masses with a simple riddle.
One riddle features a t-shirt. The question is easy: how many holes are in it?
Apparently, the answer is hard, though, because most people said ‘two.’ Only 17% of people nailed the right answer. Though the front of the shirt does indeed show two gaping holes, it would be wrong.

The answer is eight. If you look closely, you’ll notice you can see right through the shirt holes to the other side. This means that not only are there two holes on the front of the shirt, but there must also be two holes on the back of the shirt.

So far that’s four holes, but where are the rest? They’re built into the shirt itself: a neck hole, two arm holes, and, of course, the bottom opening through which you would slip the shirt on.
Next time your friends ask you a riddle, stop and think about what they’re really asking. The most obvious answer is probably wrong, or it wouldn’t be a riddle. If you really think about it, it’s not too hard to show them how smart you can be.
