  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    Claude 3 Sonnet: To solve this problem, we need to find the number of sisters Sally has based on the given information. Given information: Sally has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters. Step 1: Find the total number of sisters the brothers have.

    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.
