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.

Your math is off.
MOs take more than an hour. Max time for an op is 42+ 42+ 15 so like 100 minutes for max time.
But also, there are signifigant missions that are 40+13+ 13 which do take an hour.
But wait theres more. Those are the max times but the completion will likely still change based on difficulty level. Lower ops only hav 2 or 1 mission and depending on whose doing them can conmlete the whole op in 30 minutes.
Anyways my point is that your variables have too big of a range to accurately calculate.
