The answer is 7.

In math we count holes by using whats called Geometric Topology, which is really just a fancy way of describing an every day hole in a formal way.

The simplest way I can describe it without getting technical is if you take the shirt and stretch it and flatten it into a disc. That is, take the large opening at the bottom around your waist and stretch it out on a flat surface until it creates a flat dist where the opening around the waist is the outer perimeter of the disc.

At this point count the holes in the disc, you will count 7.

@freemo @cee @naccy @Warlock the problem is you can't see the back of the shirt, so what looks like two through-holes (two front, two back) may be only (two front, one back)

@rchrd

That is of course a valid criticism. You would have to make an assumption there of course.

Answer 

@freemo leave it to mathematicians to get a definition wrong... caves, pits and wells are all holes, what your geniuses of topology actually mean is a through-hole.

I counted 8...
I made like if i could put it on a sphere, and counted holes..
Is that wrong ?
