  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    MiMo-V2.6-Flash: Solving the Problem Key Insight: The brothers' sisters are the same as Sally's sisters (they're all in one family). Sally has 3 brothers.

    Mistral Large 4: I need to find how many sisters Sally has. Let me work through this step by step. Sally is a girl. She has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters. Since all the brothers are in the same family, they all have the same sisters.
