And it can't be all because if an attorney sees that everyone else has a laid off stamp on their neck, the only deduction they can reach is that it is possible (though not probable) that they alone were spared. This deduction would not change at any point during the course of the week. It also can't be 2 - because it would only take 2 days to figure deduce this. Assuming you are one of the 2 fired lawyers, you would see the one other fired lawyer. If that lawyer does not leave by the second day, it can only be because he sees one other fired lawyer. Which would have to be you. Then both lawyers would leave by the third day. This pattern would hold true for 3, 4, and 5 lawyers. As no lawyers leave, you can expand the number of fired lawyers by one. Therefore, there were 6 fired lawyers, who all leave on the last, or sixth day of the retreat It can’t be one because if at least one will be laid off, then the one who sees that every other lawyer in the room has a green stamp on their neck will leave after the first day, knowing that he is the laid off attorney.

Second there is an actual answer that does not require any additional assumptions (such as whether or not the lawyers have blackberries or whether or not there was a formal with ink rubbing off). However, you are awarded points for numbers 3 and 4 for creativity and humor ! Keep em' coming !
