Just to be picky...

Are they full sisters or do half sisters count? If only full sisters count, Mr Smith could have a son and a daughter with five different women. So Smith would have five daughters, but each son would have only one full sister.

Also, be careful with the wording. If you say "a" sister, that means at least one. They could have a hundred sisters and it would still be true that they have a sister.

For that matter, Mr Smith could have twenty sons, and it would still be true that he has five sons.

6 obviously?

if there were a sister for every son it would say that every son has 5 sisters

[cipher42]

6, possibly more if we don't count half sisters as sisters. Also if he had any non-binary/intersex kids those wouldn't be included in the format of the question.

[xXiTacoXx]

He has six kids and needs to find a new hobby other than fucking.

[Maik567]

6-10. 6 if he had all his kids with the same women, 10 if she had 1 boy and 1 girl with 5 different women.

[cipher42]

Well in that case he could have an infinite number of kids, since the amount of daughters isn't specified.

[Kapakani]

Why does 10 seem obvious but wrong lol...

Final answer chief...10.

[PancakeFury]

It's six. Each son would share the same sister.

[Kapakani]

6, they all seem to have the same one sister.

6. As they only need 1 between them

6 because it's only one sister.
