Well, I have over 8k strands... and only 5 friends (6, if you count the default "Other Springfield").

That being said, I probably play TOO much. A more reasonable number is roughly 6k, which is where 4 of the 5 friends are (the 5th friend is under 4k, so less than you).

If you play NONSTOP, you would get 1440 strands per day just from the normally spawning aliens. You get a few more from the treat bags and grem-aliens (varying amounts). Giving you over 17k by the 12th day.

But, if we say a person plays something like 3 times a day, every 8 hours or so (8 hours for sleep? 8 hours for work/school?), you could collect 1200 strands per day... not yet counting the additional strands from treat bags. Which, with this being near the end of the 5th day, gets you... roughly 6k+.

What's my point? It's not impossible. It probably is very hard for those that play often but not quite enough... and not "plausible" at all for those that simply don't play often. But it isn't impossible.
