4 hours is pretty cruel.

I mean I beat that game for the first time, in the first way, when I was ten. But it took me a lot more than 4 hours. Now I could probably do it in two. But only for the Bernard involved endings, and where you can make use of the glitches, like the switch character-pause-freeze Edna in her bedroom.

Was on my way to say this - 4 hours for a first time run of Maniac Manison without prior knowledge is brutal. And as you wrote, it's a badly standardized test to boot with the amount of possible characters to choose from.

Lol only 4 hours given? Sounds like the study runners also didn't have enough patience to really study this. Or designed the study for the conclusion.
