The question we get is "how long did it take to build it?", the answer being
something like, "it took 12 people 2 months of spare time". Answering
"hours" is like answering "how many bricks"... impossible :-)

The correct answer to (4) is (with an absolutely deadpan expression) "about 15
minutes".. no matter what it is they're asking about! :-)

Ha! I do this with the kids whenever we go anywhere in the car.

Kids:"How much longer until we're there?"
Me:  "Five, six minutes, tops."

Hour after hour...
