  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    Gemma 3n 2B: This is a bit of a trick question! Here's how to solve it: Sally is one of the sisters. The problem states each brother has 2 sisters. The sisters share the same brothers. This means the two sisters are the same people. 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.)
