5 pairs of closed eyes (35%). You're not so lucky as Nathan and your
result is more like what I would expect.
To improve the odds (and it's still not perfect) I tell everyone to
close their eyes (just lightly, no squinting or grimacing). On command
to open they are to open their eyes, look at the camera and smile. This
shot <http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17093> was done that
way. Of 24 people only one (my sister-in-law at far right) has her eyes
closed. I could have fixed it by pasting a pair of eyes from other
shots but chose not to bother since she's wearing dark glasses and the
closed eyes are not very visible.
I took a dozen shots to get the one in the link. But, as frequently
happens, the keeper was #2. Even the adults start to get bored after
more than a few.

Nicely done, Nathan. The composition has turned out very well. But
was it lunch or dinner?
I took one of most of my family on the day after Boxing Day; I used
my X100T and iPhone, which worked well (for once). However, I forgot
to set the 2s delay and was caught with my finger poised over the
iPhone:

We celebrated New Year’s Eve in Alicante’s best restaurant, La
Ereta. Just me, my wife and our two children. Truth be told, I was
not hung over on New Year’s Day morning since I was the designated
driver the night before. My wife and children, that’s another story
;-) Anyway, yesterday we had a lunch/dinner at our place with our
Spanish/French/Algerian friends. It was a great way to usher in
2016, and for once I got to use the tripod and the self-timer of my
camera:
