  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    Claude Opus 4.1: Let me work through this step-by-step. Sally has 3 brothers. Each of Sally's brothers has 2 sisters. Since Sally is a girl, she is one of the sisters that each brother has.

    Gemma 3n 2B: This is a bit of a trick question! Here's how to solve it: Sally is one of the sisters. The problem states each brother has 2 sisters. The sisters share the same brothers. This means the two sisters are the same people. Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.
