Answer 1

2 staff members

Explanation:

Given

See attachment for missing details

Let

`s \to staff\ member`

`p \to participant`

`e \to puzzle`

Required

Staff members for 18 participants

From the attachment, we have:

`1s \to 8p` ---- 1 staff member to 8 participants

`s \to 8p`

Multiply both sides by 1

`s * 2 \to 8p * 2`

`2s \to 16p`

This means that 2 staff members are required for 16 participants
