  • 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.

    Ring 2.6 1T: Sally has 1 sister. (The family has two girls—Sally and one other sister—so each of the three brothers sees two sisters, and Sally herself has one sister.)
