Intermediate Talmud: Lesson 5: When One Leaves the Meal Early
What do we do if the third person in a group of three left before zimun was recited? What about the tenth person in a group of ten? What if the person has not yet left but wishes to do so? Does the rest of the group recite zimun early because of him?

Zimoun...again or not Rav Kaplan,
if I am right, two people can ask (or force) the third one to stop eating in order to do the zimoun together.
The opposite does not work, but if the one who stops eating first ask the two (or three) others to do the zimoun with him and they accept, should they do the zimoun again?
