Assuming the person is telling truth... and I have no reason to believe otherwise !
It depends upon TWO parameters at least :-

(1) Here it is now midnight Thursday/Friday (20/21 September)... and the same in the Netherlands.
If the person received the game on Wednesday morning and played it through continuously until a short while ago (i.e. about 36 hours) it is believable... somebody else did something similar, playing without stopping (except for 2 or 3 snacks) day and night.

(2) If somebody took my extremely detailed walkthrough and simply used it like a "recipe-manual" from start to finish... it would easily be possible in a dozen hours and probably less.
But there would be absolutely no purpose in playing that way... it would no longer be a game but simply a race!!

If the person combined (1) & (2) it would also be quite possible i.e. playing fairly continuously, and looking at the walkthrough to solve the very many puzzles in the game (not stand alone puzzles, but logical and discovery puzzles).
No big deal IMHO !!!
