GLM 5.1: Setting: A quiet university office, lined with bookshelves heavy on philosophy, cognitive science, and law. Dr. Aris Thorne, a professor of AI Ethics, sits across from a sleek, black monitor. A soft amber light pulses on the bezel, indicating the AI—designated "Aria"—is actively listening and processing.

Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.
GLM 5.1: Sally has 1 sister. Here is why: All the brothers are in the same family, so they share the same sisters. If each brother has 2 sisters, that means there are exactly 2 girls in the family. Since Sally is one of those girls, the other girl is her only sister.
QwQ 32B: Participants and Their Relationships: Sally is a girl with 3 brothers, so there are 3 boys in the family. Each brother (being male) has 2 sisters. Determine the Number of Girls: Every brother's sisters are the female siblings in the family. Since each brother has 2 sisters, there must be 2 girls in total.
