[quote name='eldergamer']I'm only averaging about 300 snakes a day. I don't see how it could be mathematically possible to get up to the 10,000 level by the time the game ends in two weeks?
14 days. * 300 = 4200 snakes?[/QUOTE]
The Whacking Day Event officially ends on May 9th. So, technically, there were 30 days since the event began. 12500 (the highest prize) / 30 = 417 snakes per day.
By my estimates, adding 60 friends would pretty much guarantee that you could achieve that result. But you can probably get by with about 50 friends if they are fairly generous egg gifters. Edit: You know, that 60 friends number was based on the fact that you had 60 friends since the beginning of the Whacking Day event. If you are only now getting around to whacking snakes in other friend's towns...I'd say you'd have to try and max out your friends list, at 100 friends. In theory, to be on-pace, you should have 5,000 snakes as of 4/22. If you are below that, you'll have to increase the number of friends accordingly...
This is, of course, assuming that you don't just spend donuts to buy your way through the goals.
