i never count the time i spend creating a scene, rendering it, doing postwork... first of all my workflow is a totally erratic chaos. i start, stop, make pauses for minutes, days, months, whatever. i also spend way more time creating and rendering as i should because my laptop is a sorry lame old piece of crap and most of my "work time" is spent waiting for something - with a new machine i'd work i dunno how many times faster.

so the question "how much time spent" under contest submissions is a big pain for me, i have no idea, i try to estimate but i'm sure it's way not accurate at all, not even close.

can't you add the possibility to say "no idea", or to skip the question altogether? so those who want/can answer can do it, and the others drop it...
