Longer but simpler to remember

The number of days it would take 100 cracking computers working in parallel, working through 20 billion guesses per second to crack an 8 character-long password using upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols (tR5$yV4#): 0.032 (46 minutes)

The number of days it would take 100 cracking computers working in parallel, working through 20 billion guesses per second to crack a 15 character-long password using upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols (jgT36@i*bZ%GBk2): 2,422,432 (6632 years)

The number of days it would take 100 cracking computers working in parallel, working through 20 billion guesses per second to crack a 20 character-long passphrase using just lower case letters (yotimingiseverything): 115,324,935,736 (315 million years)
