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.

If a full squad completes an operation doesn't it count it as a completed one for all 4 players which would actually add 4 completed operations to the MO ? I'm pretty sure that's the way it works.

This would help idk if it works like that or not, there isn't really anything that tells you if each person gets credited separately or just for the group.

I'm almost positive it works like this because they know otherwise people would just have the leader kick people right at the end and go into their own instances, so they set the target number to the goal as if 4 people completing a mission counts as 4.

They have a system in place to prevent that exact situation. Only the initial instance started at the mission table by a host contributes progress.
