Ok, my turn;
1) 46 hrs
2) 1
3) 3 weeks and two days (flying training) + 6 months study for ground exams, doing a few hours a week (taking an exam every month) prior to flying training
4) JAR PPL in Florida - flying almost every day for three weeks
5) 12
6) flying, especially landings. Couldn't get the perspective right. Found the written exams fairly logical and straightforward.
