So if 2 painters paint 2 rooms in 2 hours, that means that 2 painters can paint 1 room per hour. So if you want to paint 18 rooms in 6 hours, that means that you need to paint 3 rooms per hour. Therefore, 2 painters do 1 per hour, so 2 times 3 must be needed to do 3 per hour. Thus, the answer is 6 painters.
