Claude Opus 5: Sally has 1 sister. Here's the reasoning: Each of Sally's 3 brothers has 2 sisters. Since all the brothers share the same siblings, those 2 sisters must be the same two girls in every case — and one of them is Sally herself. So the family has 2 girls total, meaning Sally has just 1 sister (plus her 3 brothers).
QwQ 32B: Participants and Their Relationships: Sally is a girl with 3 brothers, so there are 3 boys in the family. Each brother (being male) has 2 sisters. Determine the Number of Girls: Every brother's sisters are the female siblings in the family. Since each brother has 2 sisters, there must be 2 girls in total.
