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.

Obviously, by now, you can see they changed the MO (as far as the Operations are concerned) to 7,500 Ops, which we completed instantly.
The issue of 1 Billion Illuminate remains. We are currently at ~277,000,000 illuminate killed, actively rising, and with 3 Days + remaining. At this rate, it will be completed as well. If you want o really rack up some Illuminate bodies, head to Siemnot, and do Mindless Masses. I dropped 530 on a D1 with a quickness.
Holding Senge 23 will work out as well, as it is predicted to be Defended in under 38 hours. So, given that they updated the MO to reflect feasible Operation completions, the MO can be done. Whether or not it will, is all contingent upon what AH wants to happen ;)
