尽数 doesn't mean everything.

尽数
jìnshù
副 全数;全部:欠款~归还。

Deserting for a few days the factories that make the goods that fill the world's shops, they surge back to their native villages.
那些生产了充斥全球商铺货物的中国工厂将被废弃数日,届时工人们会尽数返回故土的村庄。

Set up plastic cups at the end of a hallway and using a soft ball or rolled up sock try and knock them all over.
在门厅尽头放一些塑料杯,用软球或卷成团的袜子试一试,将它们尽数击中。

Editor:
1) "sb" isn't a suitable placeholder for plurality of people.
"all of somebody" suggests that one might be referring to the whole of a person's body, as in "The victim was dismembered, and they haven't found all of him yet – only his torso."

Or, less gruesomely, as in the famous song: "You took the part that once was my heart, so why not take all of me?"

2) "to count all of them"
- 可以說,發展觀光產業的附加好處是無法盡數的。
- 运河两岸诞生的名人,无法尽数。

3) 儘數
