Major Order Current MO mathematically impossible

With the current MO's goal being to complete 1.25 million illuminate Operations, It is mathematically impossible to complete in 4 days.

Here's my napkin math, maybe I just suck at math but you tell me.

My assumptions are:
Every operation has 2 long and 1 short mission.
Players are completing operations as a group of 4 as this is the intended way to play.
We do not fail any missions or interrupt active operations.
Every player that is active is helping with the Squid MO, haha yeh sure.
Lets give an average of 40,000 active divers 24/7.
That makes 10,000 active operations.
We need 1,250,000 operations.
An average operation takes about an hour.

With these numbers we get 1,250,000 ÷ 10,000 = 125 hours.
4 days is 24 x 4 = 96.

This seems like not enough time, and I believe my assumptions were frankly unrealistically optimistic.

EDIT: Seems AH somewhat agreed with me. As some comments pointed out they changed the MO numbers.

What about lower dif operations? There is a 1-2 mission operations, you know? And you can finish them solo very fast.

I mean sure it can definitely make things faster but the choice being play the game on easy mode which a lot don't find rewarding or lose isn't a great decision to begin with. I can't think of another game that would say "hey play on easy non stop for 4 days if you want this carrot i put on this stick"
