Suppose you're one of 4 marked people: on the first day, you see 3 marks
and 26 unmarked. You wait until the second day and they are still around...
That can mean that the other 2 marks haven't yet realized that they are
painted. You wait until the third day: if there are only 3 marks, it should be
the decisive and on the fourth day, none of them will be alive. On the fourth
day, however, they're still around... which can mean only one thing: you are
also marked. On the fifth day, every one of you would die. This works for all
of the marked (same logic).
So, if the game ends on the 8th day, there were 7 people with marks. They
all died on the same day...

In short, 7 people were painted. Among the whole 30 people 23 of them saw 7 dots, and 7 of them saw 6 dots, and it would take those 7 people 7 days to realize that they were also painted, and then the game was over.
