When you include that stuff, you're right! I'm just talking about the thinking -> writing step. 6 minutes is a really long time for something like fizzbuzz. That's 360 seconds. The second hand has to go around the clock 6 times. If your script is 6 lines of code that's a MINUTE per line. FizzBuzz's lines are so self similar that's real weird for me to imagine.

My 6 minutes didn't include them explaining the question or them going over my answer. I didn't really explain my work. I did talk a little while I wrote, but after I finished he just went through my code line by line himself.

That's fair enough, I probably should have thought that it was just the time for answering the question, not the entire time, based on the context. Cheers!
