  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    Llama 3 70B: A classic lateral thinking puzzle! Let's break it down: Sally has 3 brothers. Each of these brothers has 2 sisters. Now, here's the key: Sally is one of the sisters that each brother has! So, each brother has 2 sisters: Sally and another sister (who is also Sally's sister).

    Solar Pro 3: Answer: Sally has 1 sister. Explanation Sally is a girl, and she has three brothers. Each brother has exactly two sisters. For a brother, the two sisters are the other girls in the family. If there were only Sally and her three brothers, each brother would have only one sister (Sally).
