  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super (free): Sally has 1 sister. Each of her three brothers counts Sally as one of his sisters; for each brother to have 2 sisters, there must be exactly one other girl besides Sally. Hence Sally’s number of sisters is 1.

    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.
