Am I missing something here, or is it going to be almost impossible to get the weather station without buying/spending gems? The key to the issue seems to be friends, since the amount we get each gift is only 5 this time instead of 10 like last time. Even though the max is technically 120, there's no way to actually get that amount from friends unless you have a lot of people gifting you who you aren't gifting back. (7 gems + 3 treats to gift per day is 10 gifts total, and at 5 dust each gift, that's only 50 total dust each day.)

I made a copy of my spreadsheet and filled the whole thing out through May 4th to see. Assuming two double weekends and 10 gifts from friends per day, and assuming that I get the max in everything every day, I'm still going to end up about 500 dust short without spending gems or clearing obstacles. I've got some obstacles left but definitely not enough to clear 5 every day -- and even if I did, that still wouldn't be enough to make up the shortage. Seems like you have to either spend/buy gems or get more people to gift you than you gift back.

Or am I missing something? Is my math or the spreadsheet going wrong somewhere? If not, this is pretty discouraging. :( I think this is the first event I've participated in where it isn't actually possible to get the top prize without having to spend money/gems even if you get the max possible every day.
