Is it wrong?

Is this sentence wrong? How can I correct? Is "out of the assistants" wrong?

"It was quite clear that none out of the assistants knew what to do"

Thanks.

The out is either redundant or a halfway measure. Your choices are: It was quite clear that none of the assistants knew what to do or, for stress: It was quite clear that none out of all the assistants knew what to do
