That's what I thought at first, but recently I realised that many 6WC participants don't actually study more for the 6WC:
and there're people who know they could only study 30 minutes a day but participate anyway. And the 6WC results are real, the participants did study that many hours, and the figures do answer OP's question. The figures aren't representative of the world population, but neither would the 20 or 30 replies that the OP is going to receive here. And with the 6WC results, you get dozens if not hundreds of results all on one page, with charts and analyses just a few clicks away. I think that's great! And the 6WC hours are discounted, so they are actually less than what really occured. In any case, there's one thing about the 6WC results that is very representative of real life: there're always people who sign up, but finish with 0 minutes logged, LOL. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

When I'm jobless, I study 4.85 hours a day on average, not counting the time listening to the radio or whatnot while walking or gardening or whatnot.
In my last job, I was working till 11pm or even 3am every day, so obviously I couldn't study at all :( 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Ok, I stand corrected! I've never taken part in the 6WC because it's always seemed like people put in a huge number of hours and it's something I couldn't commit to... I also just read these posts you quoted and it seems like that was a false impression on my part. I guess the point isn't to compete against the other participants as much as to quantify your own studies and challenge yourself. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Myself it would be about half an hour to an hour a day.Though I confess I am bit of a
slacker when comes to foreign language learning.Oh well everybody is different when comes to foreign language studying. Edited by stout on 12 March 2015 at 5:45pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I have recently started tracking the length of time I spend on language learning for
Hungarian and Japanese and was pleased (and surprised) to see that on an average day, I manage an hour for each :) Maybe I can join the next 6WC just to keep the motivation up. It will be my 2nd language challenge ever :P (I failed my first - the italki challenge at the start of the year, haha) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I spend an hour to an hour and a half on Spanish (combination of reading, watching TV shows and Skype
conversations) and about 30 minutes on Tagalog most days. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I get about 2 hours of French every day on the weekdays, and on weekends I can usually
get 4-5 hours. 1 person has voted this message useful |
