  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    Andromeda Alpha: To determine how many sisters Sally has, we start by analyzing the information provided in the question: "Sally (a girl) has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters. How many sisters does Sally have?" Step 1: Understand the Family Composition Sally is a girl.

    MiMo-V2.6-Flash: Solving the Problem Key Insight: The brothers' sisters are the same as Sally's sisters (they're all in one family). Sally has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters, and one of those sisters is Sally herself. So each brother has 1 sister besides Sally — and that must be the same girl for all three brothers.
