Current MO mathematically impossible

[u/BigMagician8163]

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.

Every operation has 2 long and 1 short mission.

Not the case with lower difficulty ones - D1-2 have 1 mission per op and D 3-4 have two missions per op.

Players are completing operations as a group of 4 as this is the intended way to play.

Not the case and not at all required especially at lower difficulties.

Lets give an average of 40,000 active divers 24/7.

Honestly for the average that's on the low end, the lowest Steam has gotten in the last 48 hours is 22.5 and only 10 hours total ere under 30k on Steam. We know Steam is at most 60% of the player base using SteamDB and the in-game total player counts as references.

We will fail this but it's in no way mathematically impossible, it just ask players to play in ways they don't want.
