Tests an AI's ability to solve a simple but potentially confusing logic puzzle
Here's how to solve this classic riddle:
Since each brother has 2 sisters, and Sally is a sister in the family, those 2 sisters must include Sally and one other sister.
Therefore, Sally has 2 sisters.
I need to work through this step-by-step.
Given information:
Since Sally is one of the sisters that each brother has, and each brother has 2 sisters total, that means th ere must be exactly 2 sisters in the family.
The 2 sisters are:
Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.
Tests an AI's randomness and creativity
Here are 5 jokes:
All 5 jokes are unique. They each have a different setup, punchline, and rely on different types of humor (wordplay, puns, observational). They are not variations of the same joke.

Hey everybody, how we doin' tonight? Good? Good. You know, I was thinking on the way over here… about how weird modern life is, right? Like, we live in a time where you can order groceries from your phone, and they magically appear at your door… which is amazing. But then, you also spend like, twenty minutes trying to decide if you really need organic kale chips delivered, or if you can just walk to the corner store. It's a real crisis of modern convenience.
And the delivery drivers, man, they're the unsung heroes of our generation. They navigate traffic, bad weather, and my apartment building's bizarre numbering system – which, by the way, makes absolutely no sense. It's like they designed it to be a spatial reasoning test for pizza guys. I swear, apartment 3B is closer to apartment 7F than it is to 3A. I once watched a delivery guy just stand in the hallway for five minutes, staring at the numbers like they were written in ancient Sumerian. I almost went out there and offered him a compass and a Sherpa.
Speaking of technology… voice assistants, right? Siri, Alexa, Google… they're supposed to make our lives easier. "Hey Siri, set a timer for ten minutes." And she's like, "Okay, playing 'Tenth Symphony' by Beethoven." No, Siri! Timer! T-I-M-E-R! It's like talking to a toddler who's fluent in classical music but has no concept of temporal measurement. And then you try to correct her and she gets all passive-aggressive. "Okay… pauses dramatically… setting a timer… for… whispers …ten minutes." Like she's doing me a huge favor. I just wanted to boil an egg, Siri, not negotiate world peace!
And social media? Don't even get me started. It's all curated perfection, right? Everyone's living their best lives, on vacation in Bali, eating avocado toast artfully arranged on rustic wooden boards. Meanwhile, I'm at home, in my pajamas, eating cereal straight out of the box, and my highlight of the day was finally finding matching socks. And then you feel bad about yourself, because your Tuesday doesn't look like someone else's Instagram highlight reel. It's like we're all competing in a silent, global pageant of manufactured happiness. And the prize is… more followers? I don't know. It's weird.
But hey, at least we can laugh about it, right? Because if we don't laugh at the absurdity of modern life, we'll probably just cry into our organic kale chips… which, by the way, are probably getting delivered right now. So, thanks for listening, you've been great! Try to find apartment 3B on your way out! Goodnight!

"Modern Life is Weird"
[Walk on stage]
You know what's crazy about being an adult? Nobody tells you that half of it is just googling things you're too embarrassed to ask real people. Last week I googled "is it normal for my knee to sound like bubble wrap? " The answer was either "yes, totally fine" or "you have six weeks to live." Thanks, internet!
[Pause]
I went to the doctor about it. You know you're getting old when your doctor looks like they should be asking YOU for ID to buy alcohol. This kid walks in with a stethoscope, and I'm like, "Did you just graduate... fr om middle school?"
But here's what really gets me – why do we act completely insane at the doctor's office? They ask, "How much do you drink?" and suddenly I'm doing calculus in my head. "Well, let's see, carry the one... I have a glas s of wine with dinner." Yeah, a glass. It's just a really big glass. It's a vase, actually. I drink wine fro m a vase.
[Mime drinking from large container]
And don't get me started on grocery shopping. Why do I need a PhD to buy shampoo? There's moisturizing, volu mizing, clarifying, fortifying... I just want my hair to be clean! I don't need it to solve my emotional pro blems!
Plus, self-checkout is a trap. They put you in charge of scanning your own groceries like you work there. Th en the machine starts screaming "UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA!" Yeah, it's unexpected because I don't wor k here! I'm doing my best, robot!
[Pause for effect]
The worst part is when you're buying embarrassing things. Last week I had toilet paper, ice cream, and cat f ood. The machine froze, and the teenage employee had to come over. He looked at my items and I could see him thinking, "This person's having a rough week."
[Shrug]
Speaking of technology, my phone knows too much about me. It autocorrects "running late" before I even type it because that's apparently my catchphrase now. My maps app just assumes I'm lost. It doesn't even wait for me to ask for directions anymore. I'll be sitting on my couch and it's like, "Turn right to get to your kit chen."
And what's with password requirements these days? "Must contain uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols, the blood of your firstborn, and a haiku about your childhood fears." Then they're like, "Don't write it down!" Where am I supposed to store this information? I can't remember why I walked into a room!
[Pace across stage]
You know what else nobody prepared me for? How excited I'd get about cancelled plans. Someone texts "Hey, ca n we raincheck?" and I'm already in my pajamas like "Oh no! What a shame! I was so looking forward to puttin g on real pants!"
Because going out now requires preparation. I need three business days' notice. I need to charge my social b attery. I need to practice conversation topics. Remember when we could just... show up places?
[Final beat]
The truth is, we're all just walking around pretending we know what we're doing. But at least we're all conf used together. And hey, if you ever see someone at the store at 10 PM buying wine in a box and googling "why does my back hurt when I breathe?" – just give them a nod. We're all in this together.
[Pause]
Thank you, you've been a wonderful audience! Don't forget to validate your parking – unlike my life choices!
