Answer 1

Answer: 18 players will be notified during the 2nd round of calls.

Step-by-step explanation: When doing a simple question like this, just follow these steps: First, do 2x3 which equals 6. Then do 6x3, which equals 18. Then 54, then 162, then 486, and so on.

Answer 2

Answer: There will be 2 players notified in the 1st round of calls,

Those players will then call two players in the 2nd round of calls.

This second round will yield 2 x 2 = 4 players being contacted.

Therefore, 6 players will be contacted after the second round of calls.
