So I tried out some faucets earlier today, just as an experiment to see how much Satoshi I could actually earn and how long it would take. So, I went to microwallet.org and opened up every last one of the faucets it linked me too (the ones that worked) and I also did it with land of bitcoins or w/e (there was some overlap). Had about 25-30 different pages opened and for bout 5 hours straight I went and completed each of the 30ish faucets on queue. Most could be completed once an hour, some were 15-30 mins, and 2 were 5 mins I believe. My microwallet is now sitting at 7.4k satoshi (roughly 2 cents) and amongst the other faucets not linked to microwallet there is an accumulated 11k satoshi (roughly 3 cents). so over 5 hours of solving captchas i earned a whopping 5 cents. Now granted, I didnt spend the whole 5 hours solving captchas, but I did spend bout an hour hunting them all down, and then another 25 mins each hour doing the captchas to claim the satoshi. So all in all, faucets are a complete waste of time right now. You never know though.. That 5 cents could explode in value to 5$ or more in no time.

Yup, you can only get some cents for spending an hour on faucets. It is much more productive to spend your time on something else like learning and working.
