  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    Qwen3.8 2.4T A95B: Sally has 1 sister. Each brother has 2 sisters: Sally and one other girl. So Sally’s only sister is that other girl.

    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.
