Problem Statement
There are people in the California Baseball League (CBL). The CBL cannot start playing games until people are split into teams of exactly people (with each person in exactly one team). Moreover, there must be an even number of teams. What is the fewest number of people who must join the CBL such that the CBL can start playing games? The CBL may not revoke membership of the people already in the CBL.
