  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    GLM 4.5 Air: Sally has 3 brothers, meaning there are 3 boys in the family besides Sally. Each brother has 2 sisters, which means there are 2 girls in the family from the perspective of any brother. Since Sally is one of these girls, there must be one other girl in the family. Therefore, Sally has one sister.

    MiMo-V2.5: Solving Step by Step Sally has 3 brothers. Now, each brother has 2 sisters. Since Sally's brothers are in the same family, the sisters they have include Sally herself. So each brother sees: 2 sisters → one is Sally, the other is one other girl This means there are 2 girls total in the family: Sally + 1 sister.
