Tests an AI's ability to solve a simple but potentially confusing logic puzzle
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.
If each brother has 2 sisters total, and Sally is one of them, then there must be 1 other sister besides Sally.
Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.
Alright, let's tackle this problem step by step. The question is:
Sally (a girl) has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters. How many sisters does Sally have?
At first glance, it might seem straightforward, but let's break it down to ensure we understand it correctly.
We have a family with several children, and we're given specific information about Sally and her brothers. Here's what we know:
Our goal is to determine how many sisters Sally has.
Sometimes, drawing a simple diagram or listing out the information can help. Let's try that.
Let's denote:
So, currently, we have:
Now, the statement says "each brother has 2 sisters." Let's interpret what that means for one brother, say B1.
From B1's perspective:
But we're told he has 2 sisters. Currently, we only have S as a sister. So, where does the second sister come from?
This implies that there must be another sister besides Sally. Let's call this other sister S2.
Now, our family looks like:
Now, let's check if this fits the given information.
This checks out. Each brother indeed has 2 sisters.
Now, the question is: How many sisters does Sally have?
From our current family structure:
Sally is one of the sisters. So, her sisters would be the other sisters in the family besides herself.
That is:
So, Sally has 1 sister.
Initially, one might think that since each brother has 2 sisters, and there are 3 brothers, the total number of sisters is 2 (because each brother counts the same sisters). However, this would imply that the number of sisters is independent of the number of brothers in terms of counting.
But the key is to realize that the sisters are shared among all brothers. That is, the sisters are the same for each brother. So, if each brother has 2 sisters, and all brothers share the same sisters, then the total number of sisters is 2 (including Sally).
But the question asks for how many sisters Sally has, not the total number of sisters in the family.
Sally is one sister, and there's another sister (S2), so Sally has 1 sister.
Let me think of it another way to confirm.
Let’s denote:
Given:
But the sisters are the same for all brothers. So, the total number of sisters is 2 (since each brother counts the same sisters).
But Sally is one of these sisters. So, the other sister is 2 (total sisters) - 1 (Sally) = 1.
Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.
Let's assign numbers to see if it makes sense.
Suppose:
Now:
This fits perfectly.
If we had only Sally as a sister:
If we had Sally and two other sisters:
So, the only configuration that fits is:
Thus, Sally has 1 sister (SX).
After carefully analyzing the problem from different angles and verifying each step, the correct answer is:
Sally has 1 sister.

Here are 5 jokes:
Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything!
What do you call a bear with no teeth? A gummy bear!
Why did the scarecrow win an award? He was outstanding in his field!
What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta!
Why don't eggs tell jokes? They'd crack each other up!
All 5 jokes are unique - each one has a different setup and punchline with no repeats.
Here are five jokes for you—let’s see how many are truly unique!
Why don’t skeletons fight each other? They don’t have the guts.
Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field!
What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta.
Why can’t you trust an atom? Because they make up everything!
How do you organize a space party? You planet!
All five jokes are unique in this set—none are identical or rephrased versions of each other. However, some (like #4 and #5) are classic "dad jokes" that might feel familiar if you’ve heard them before. If you’d like, I can generate completely original jokes (no recycled punchlines) or test for uniqueness against a database!

Tech Weekly Interview: Steve Jobs on AI's Future Virtual Interview, Cupertino Memorial Studio, October 2025
Interviewer: Steve, it's remarkable to have you here. You've been watching the AI revolution unfold. What's your take on where we are today?
Steve Jobs: [leaning forward] You know, everyone's obsessed with the technology itself. That's not the point. It never was. We're still building computers that think like computers, not tools that enhance human creativity. The whole industry is missing it.
Interviewer: But surely ChatGPT, Claude, and these other systems are revolutionary?
Steve Jobs: Revolutionary? [pause] They're impressive engineering. But look at how people use them - they open seventeen different apps, copy-paste between windows, fight with prompts. It's 1985 all over again. Where's the elegance? Where's the joy? We've built powerful engines and stuck them in a horse carriage.
Interviewer: So what would Apple's approach be?
Steve Jobs: [characteristic smile] We wouldn't have released anything yet. Everyone else rushed out their "beta" assistants. We'd still be in the lab, obsessing over one question: How do we make AI so intuitive that a five-year-old and their grandmother both instantly get it? Not through better prompts - that's ridiculous. Through better design.
Interviewer: Can you give us a hint?
Steve Jobs: Think about the iPhone. We didn't add a keyboard; we removed it. With AI, everyone's adding - more parameters, more features, more complexity. What if we removed? What if AI wasn't something you talked to, but something that understood intention through the simplest possible interaction?
Interviewer: You're concerned about the current direction?
Steve Jobs: I'm terrified we're building the wrong future. We have companies worth trillions making AI that helps you write mediocre emails faster. [shaking head] That's not why we build technology. Where's the AI that helps a musician hear the symphony in their head? Where's the AI that helps a child discover they're an artist?
Interviewer: But the productivity gains—
Steve Jobs: [interrupting] Productivity is a byproduct, not a purpose. The personal computer wasn't about productivity. It was about personal empowerment. AI should be the same. Instead, we're building digital servants. We should be building creative partners.
Interviewer: What about concerns over AI replacing human workers?
Steve Jobs: That's because we're building AI wrong. We're automating tasks instead of augmenting humans. It's like building a car and using it as a stationary engine. The magic happens when human intuition meets AI capability - but seamlessly, invisibly. The technology should disappear.
Interviewer: Any advice for today's AI leaders?
Steve Jobs: Stop the feature race. Pick one thing - just one - and make it absolutely perfect. Make it so beautiful, so obvious, so essential that people can't imagine how they lived without it. Then build from there. And for God's sake, stop shipping products that require prompt engineering courses. If it needs a manual, you've already failed.
Interviewer: One final question - what excites you most about AI's future?
Steve Jobs: [long pause] The moment when we stop calling it AI. When it becomes so natural, so integrated into how we create and think, that it doesn't need a name. That's when we'll know we've succeeded. Not when it passes some test, but when it helps a single person do something they never thought possible. That's the future worth building.
Interviewer: Thank you, Steve.
Steve Jobs: One more thing - [smiles] Stop trying to make AI human. Make it better than human at helping humans be more human. That's the paradox everyone's missing.
