  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    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.

    Qwen3.6 Plus Preview (free): Sally has 1 sister. Here's why: All the siblings share the same family. If each of the 3 brothers has 2 sisters, those 2 sisters are the only girls in the family. Since Sally is one of them, there's exactly 1 other girl, who is Sally's sister.
