Why do you want to know? It would depend on if it was cutt completely or just nicked, or otherwise. It would also depend on where it is located on your body.

as long as it takes to eat pie
Depends on the size of the cut and where it was. Could be minutes, could take hours.
Within 1 minute probably
about half an hour it depends where on the body .like the wrist or the throat,the wrist takes a little longer
Depends on many factors. Death might not result at all.
You would bleed out in less than a minute, but not sure, it could take hours and it is very painful, you will suffer Immensely if this were the case. I couldn't do it, I've heard how terrible it is to watch your blood gush out. Not a good plan if you are considering this, you need to talk to someone, this is a great tool to ask for help
I hope your not thinking about doing anything crazy. There's nothing so horrible that won't go away. Have you ever heard of the saying "this too sha'll pass".
it's a bad way to die.I hope you aren't planing to do "anything".

approximately 5 minutes give or take.
depends on which artery,severity of the cut, heart rate,temperature probably other factors too. that said, anywhere from a couple of minutes to a couple of hours to bleed out.
Depends on which artery, how big the cut was, and whether or not you seeked medical attention. But, someone could die very rapidly if a bad laceration to a main artery happened. Please don't attempt it!
A main artery cut would take you less than 30 seconds to die.
About five minutes...
They aren't as acessible as they seem, though.
