Jay and Rita each appear to have something to drink. It’s possible they have rice wine, in which case each could be described in German as “mit Sake”. So the answer is: up to 2.
4 in clothing clothing- Roy in suit- Dana in Trek to and wearing glasses- Carolina in modest outfit.
Others- King Sal- Working Ed- Roy drinking yogurt- I’m going to guess Jay is a coffee drinker- Romantic chase at the back is backwards.- I think sweeping girl from Les Mis is meant to be in the scene and not a picture on the wall.- Andrew sleeping on the floor – should be Ed.- Baby bottle in Rita’s hand.- Jay in a rocking chair.- I have no idea what is coming out of Rita’s rear and heading left – but I bet it’s not meant to be there.- And finally the table is a door.
Between the different lists readers may have gotten them all. Any others are unintentional, and therefore REAL mistakes! I promise there are no unfair ones like ‘someone forgot to turn off the faucet in the restroom’ or ‘Jay has different colored socks’ or ’Roy’s shoes are untied.’ They’re all ones you can see!

Okay, most of them have been found now by various readers. Interesting how many people spotted Roy having no chair, since only a sliver of that part of the set-up shows. Here’s my list of 41 mistakes:

22- Jay is in a rocking chair instead of boardroom chair.
23- Andrew is napping on the floor.
24- Ed has a bow in his hair.
25- Ed has a target on his back.
26- Ed is working hard, yet the world has not ended.
27- Ed’s laptop display is rather out of date
28- Dana is wearing glasses (Probably Jay’s.)
29- Dana has a Star Fleet insignia.
30- Dana has six fingers on each hand (Right thumb is hidden by her left arm.)
31- Roy is wearing a suit.
32- Roy is eating yogurt instead of junk.
33- Roy has no chair and is suspended in air.
34- The boardroom table is a door.
