  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    Gemini Pro 1.0: Sally has 1 sister. Explanation: Sally is a girl. She has 3 brothers. All the siblings share the same sisters. Since Sally is one of the sisters, and each brother has 2 sisters in total, there must be one other girl besides Sally in the family. Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.

    Qwen3.6 Max Preview: Sally has 1 sister. Here's why: If each brother has 2 sisters, that means there are exactly 2 girls in the entire sibling group. Since Sally is one of those girls, the other girl is her only sister. (All the siblings share the same sisters, so Sally's perspective just excludes herself.)
