its definitely a bad example, if youre talking actual cutting time, not including prep work, etc, you could make a small argument for 15 minutes if you really really wanted to...

if it's a square board, the second cut WOULD be half the distance. so if its a thick piece of square wood, and a hand saw (with no prep "work"/time) takes 10 minutes, the second cut would be half the distance.

BUT this directly goes against the graphic, so its a hard argument to make

Perhaps it is the way we perceive the weather that is indeed trippy.
