The experiences of different people vary widely. From what I've inferred in hearing people on this forum and the experiences of some of my students when I taught the course (which was also the first time I ever heard of it), I don't think you are too close to being the longest.

It's a very good thing that you slugged it through and come up with your own solutions. This put you into a much better position to really appreciate the elegance of more optimal solutions and to better understand why they were elegant. That represents a growth in your knowledge that is well worth that sixteen hours and will position you to be in a position to see better and simpler approaches to problems in the future -- and not just digital design problems, but problems involving logic in general.
