A classic lateral thinking puzzle!
At first glance, it seems like a straightforward math problem, but wait...
If each of Bob's 7 sisters has 4 brothers, that would mean each sister has Bob and 3 other brothers, right? But that's not possible, because Bob is the only brother!
So, the correct answer is: Bob has no brothers. He has 7 sisters, and each of them has him as their only brother.
Did I get it right?

To solve this, let's consider the family structure:
Bob has 7 sisters.
Each of these sisters has 4 brothers.
Since all the sisters have the same number of brothers, and these brothers include Bob, this implies Bob has 3 other brothers. Therefore, including Bob, there are 4 brothers in total. Hence, Bob has 3 brothers.
