Rather a silly question, insofar as it provokes unnecessary feelings of inadequacy and macho competitiveness. Also it leads to endless justifications / rationalizations ("but I could have done it in much less time except for the bad weather / poor instruction / scheduling problems / work or family commitments / etc."). Let's focus on things that are more fun and interesting.

P.S. Anyone who feels that it is taking them too long should take heart, as time to solo is of no real importance. Reading David Garnett's classic A Rabbit in the Air: notes from a diary kept while learning to handle an aeroplane may provide a helpful sense of perspective.
