I would have picked a much higher answer than I did, but.....I am at "work".

My weeks used to be 50 to 90 hours for 10+ years; so you're looking at 10 to 40 hours of extra curricular activities per week. My weeks are 40 now, unless someone is willing to pay me more to work additional; and that does happen too frequently. Holidays last for at least 2 weeks twice a year. Life is too short to chase every technology. Life is too short to spend most of it in front of a computer or even TV monitor.

how this correlates with age.
when i was 26, i could easily do 30+ hours.
then it slowly declined.
now that i'm 46, it's 0 hours.

Exactly. I was just about to post this. I think most of us old timers are probably like this... letting it slowly wane off as we embrace other life stuff too.

And relationship status. If I even touch a laptop outside of work I get the death stare.

Story of my life.
There was a point where I couldn't wait for the workday to finish, so I could spend every other waking moment (evenings, weekends) working on my own little pet projects.
I'm now 44 and it's been at least 2 years I've invested any "serious" amount of time into those same projects.
I still churn out tiny utilities for my own purposes when I see a specific need, but I have some larger-scale projects I used to love to work on that I now simply can no longer bring myself to even maintain.

But in fact, most of my side projects are attempts to be able to retire in a few years. Since I pissed away every penny I earned in my prime, I now have a few good years left to build up some form of retirement. So, I'll just keep trying stuff until something pays off or I die, whichever comes first.

If working on CP is counted as hobby programming project.
I would be surprised if otherwise.
Life is a computer program and everyone is the programmer of his own life.

There should be an option for 24X7

I do a lot of R&D type work before a project, such as when I order an ultrasonic sensor. I'll spend several hours getting it to work then stow it away for future reference.
When I actually have a project I generally spend a lot of time on it until it is done. A lot of time depends on the size and complexity of the project.

Are we talking about weeks/month/year?
|

I answered as if it were hours per project.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

I interpreted it as weeks because after 1 < 5 hours it goes to "Maybe an hour per WEEK".
It wouldn't make much sense to go from 1 < 5 hours a month/year/project to less than 1 hour a week.

|
There an option for 60+ hours. Almost like a full time job
|
|
|
|

I answered it as per week. If my wife didn't keep interrupting me, it would be a lot higher. Now that I'm retired, she seems to think I'm only here to be at her beck and call. Still, I assume that one must pay something to be so well fed and watered.

Was this question set by an examnation board?

Because of the 60+ hour option I interpreted it to mean a month or year. I would think if you have a full-time job you are doing at least 40 hours there.
40 + 60 = 100
Since there are only 168 hours in a week that would leave 68 hours for sleeping, eating and socializing with family/friends. I am sure that you could scrap the whole socializing with friends/family and sleep or eat less but then I would assume that means it is no longer a hobby and instead an obsession.

I'm a (unpaid volunteer) webmaster on a site I keep very well updated.
But - how do I count it? It's volunteer work, sure (so I checked 1-5 hrs, an annualized average). But - it's my job in the organization - so maybe it's unpaid overtime?

You wouldn't do it if you didn't want to so i'd say hobby. Volunteering could be classed as a hobby I think.

Thing thing is, programming was always a fun diversion for me. Now I get paid to do it.
So, it's not so straight forward. It's always fun.

All the time.
If you don't have a job or retired, then you are spending all the time on hobby projects.
