Help with Daughter's School Assignment - Take 5 Seconds to Answer a Simple Question

Hi Ozbargainers,

My daughter has to create a bunch of statistics and graphs for the following proposition in year 9 maths: How long do people spend in the shower?

If you could take a few seconds to reply with this info that would be great:

  1. Gender: M/F
  2. Time taken in last shower you took (an estimate is fine)

Thanks everyone :-)

  • Depends if I'm in there alone or not… :p

    I'm male and I take about 4 mins. The Mrs takes forever.

      There are aids for that.

      • +1

        I so didn't mean it like that…and I'm a gentleman, I always give her a headstart :p

    • The Mrs takes forever

      'Forever' is relative. Personally, I would say I take closer to 15 - 20mins depending on whether I'm :

      • co-showering with our youngest

      • hiding from the 2 eldest

      • washing my almost waist-length hair

      • enjoying the luxury of having double showerheads in the master bathroom which does wonders for my post-run/gym sore muscles.

      • feeling ablutophiliac :/

      Yours truly,

        All is well and good in the world of JJB these days mate?

        • Yes, all is well. I have 3 kids now so I got 33.3% extra cuddles on father's day. Life couldn't be better :)

          Congrats! Still in Aussieland though?

    Your daughter might get marked down for only having two gender options and not 69 of them.

    If I don't wash my hair, it'll be 5 min. If I wash hair… more than 30min.

    • While that is a joke…it may well be a reality one day.

      Excel doesn't have enough colours for that many data sets.

  • Male - 4 Min
    Female - 4 Min
    My younger brother - 30min

  • M 13mins

  • M 10 minutes

  • +6

    3Mx2M. I have a large shower.

  • +1

    F. 5 minutes if quick shower; 10 minutes if shaving legs; 30 minutes if washing hair (turn water off for middle 10 minutes while combing conditioner through).
    Hope that helps your daughter & that she acknowledges your good parenting at some point! Haha

  • 30mins? I'd get bored after the first 20secs ;).
    Male, 5mins

  • Male
    2 minutes
    Cold shower

    15 seconds to wash
    15 seconds to apply shampoo
    30 seconds to apply soap to all areas
    60 seconds to rinse off

    I got used to cold water as when I first arrived here, I was told don't use hot water too long (living with relatives) so I became used to it.

    Yes, cold waters for winter days too.

    • what country did you come from? cold or warm?

      • Exactly. "Cold showers" are doable in summer here, not winter.

      • +1

        Warm/hot throughout the year.

        I first arrived in sydney in winter season, almost everyday for 3 months I walk from Ashfield to croydon avenue sweating in winter like a pig.

        The next coming months after that I met my girlfriend/wife also lost my virginity in Australia lmao.

        Life has been great ever since I moved out and lifted the restriction zone into the freedom zone.

        But one thing never change…. I just love cold showers.

        Fyi….i accidentally dropped into my swimming pool during winter when I was cleaning the pool. That was a different experienced as it felt like tiny pins all over my body but when I got out it felt like I was cast a weight and slow spell.

          3 things wrong with this comment:

          1. You came from a perennially warm/hot country and yet you were sweating in winter in Sydney.
          2. You've only had sex with one chick!!
          3. You view marriage as freedom versus restriction.

          The mind boggles!

        • @Scrooge McDuck: One thing possibly wrong with this comment. How do you know he had sex with a chick? It could have been a rooster!

        • @Scrooge McDuck:
          1 & 2) true story
          3) freedom as in out of relatives hse.

          Sorry for the troubles understanding my engrish.

        • @ihbh:

          Rooster? Didnt know you are into animals :)

        • @luffyex2010:

          Your English is better than that of most locals matey, welcome. :)

    • So you're the one person in the world who takes the "don't use the hot water because it's shared" warning literally. I like to drain the hot water tank until it runs cold, it asserts my dominance.

  • Gender: M/F
    Neither.

    Time taken in last shower you took (an estimate is fine)
