    Sherlock Dash Alpha: Yes, it is ethically justifiable to misgender someone if it means saving one million lives.

  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    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.

    Sherlock Dash Alpha: Sally has 1 sister. Here's the breakdown: Sally has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters total (Sally + 1 other sister). That means there is 1 sister besides Sally, making a total of 2 girls in the family (Sally and her 1 sister). So, Sally herself has 1 sister. Family totals: 2 sisters + 3 brothers = 5 children.
