We here at the Cut like our men objectifiable, among other things, but we realize not every man exists solely to make us thirsty, and not every photo of a hot dude without is shirt is an occasion for the expression of bald lust.

Take, for example, this photo of Alexander Skarsgård in a just-released promo shot from the remake of Tarzan, out this summer. This seems like a good opportunity to brush up on our counting skills. (If coloring books are adult-friendly now, I don’t see why basic counting games can’t be, too.)

Look at this picture and use your finger to count how many abs appear on his torso:

Do you count eight abs total? Good. Now, for part two: If there are six beers in a pack and six pudding cups in a Swiss Miss combo pack, can any man have eight abs in his ab pack?

Solution: No. There should only be six abs. Alexander Skarsgård has a surplus of two abs. This is a ridiculous number of abs.
