If I didn't see any stars, I'd surely have to kill myself the next day (because I know there's at least one). So if there was only one, they'd have been found dead the day after the stranger made his comment...
On that day, anyone who only saw one star should have to kill themselves before next dawn (there would be two of them) - as they'd both know they had a star.
Day after, anyone who saw two stars (three people). etc.
So (assuming by 'six days later' you mean, on the sixth morning following the comment) I reckon there were six bodies found....
? is that the right way to look at it?
