What is the average time to reach Level 5?

I started answering questions in the Cats section on January 29, 2009 and today I topped 5,000 and am at Level 5 - took me a bit under 4 months to get there.

I'm curious as to the average time people take to get to level 5.

I decided a few days ago that when I topped 5,000 and got to Level 5, I'd leave Yahoo Answers - it is just too damn addicting and you can really waste a lot of time at it.

Update:

Forgot to give the date I reached Level 5 - It was Monday, May 25, 2009

    If a person answers & votes their limit each day and asks no questions, even with NO Best Answers, they can reach Level 5 in 30 days (yes, I've done the math).

    However, most don't hit it that quickly -- and others get there even quicker, with Best Answers. Finding an average can be difficult, since there is no posting of this type of information.

    How long is a piece of string? I have asked many questions which has cost me points (means nothing to me) and am due a Yahoo break so I can get on with some important things. I think we're talking 18 months minimum:

    Enrolled: 4th July 2008

    Status: Level 4

    Spring cleaning: Level 0

    You will reach Level 5 faster if you Answer More Questions than you ask.

    I do not conform to the norm, I felt you should know.

    It took me 39 days to go from level 1 (100 points) to level 7 (25,000 points)

    level five took 19 days (Feb 19 to Mar 7)

    As to your second thought, yes, this places is more addicting than heroin or potato chips

    It relies upon on his point of interest. I have been given to point 4 from point 2 in only one 12 months. Now that's taking time for me to realize point 5. yet whilst he continuously provides centred solutions, he can attain to point 5 devoid of delay. via centred solutions, I propose, the solutions might desire to be very suitable for the guy who raised them. they must be offered maximum suitable solutions. The extra maximum suitable solutions you get, the swifter you upward push to the suitable point.
