  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    GPT-4.1 Mini: Let's analyze the information: Sally has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters. Since Sally is a girl and one of the sisters, for each brother to have 2 sisters, it means there must be a total of 2 sisters in the family (including Sally).

    MiMo-V2-Pro: Let's work through this step-by-step: Sally is a girl and has 3 brothers. Each of those brothers has 2 sisters. Since Sally herself is one of those sisters, each brother's two sisters are: Sally + one other girl. That means there are 2 girls in the family total. Sally has 1 sister.
