How much faster do Humans learn skills?
In the advanced edition, humans are given a small benefit. Namely, they are supposed to learn (master) skills faster than the other races. Exactly how much faster do they learn, and, is it equal across all skills?
Given enough time I might be able to figure that out myself, but perhaps someone can beat me to it.

Doh! Seconds after I asked this question, I discovered the answer. I'll post it here to save people the trouble:
From the wiki at: http://ftl.wikia.com/wiki/Races
Humans: -10% experience requirements
However, this still leaves some wondering for me. Because skills do not all have requirements divisible by 10, I wonder how much it truly takes for a human to master each skill. I will update this answer if/when I discover such. (Or I will delete it if someone else's answer completely outclasses this.)
Edit (2):
For shields, Humans require 50 non-ion impacts, down from 55. So this is slightly less than a 10% reduction due to rounding. I still wonder if the remaining skills also round the reduction downward (or, equivalently the requirements upward.)
Bizarrely, Humans only require 14 repairs per level, down from 18. This represents about a 22% reduction! Unless the required repairs per level for everyone was lowered to 16, this means the decreased experience requirement is not the same across skills. If it was lowered to 16 and I didn't notice, this means a 12.5% decrease which only indicates the rounding isn't consistent across skills.
Edit (3):
This wiki states the human reduction in exp requirements. However, the repair required seems inaccurate. That said, I'll double check my work it is (slightly) possible that I miscounted somehow.
For the remaining skills:
Piloting: 15 --> 13
Engines : 15 --> 13
Shields : 55 --> 50 (Verified)
Weapons : 65 --> 58
Repair : 18 --> 16 (Contested)
Combat : 8 --> 7 (Verified)

It usually takes six months or more to develop a new skill,\u201d says Weintraub. And it may take longer for others to see and appreciate it. \u201cPeople around you will only notice 10% of every 100% change you make,\u201d he says.Does AI learn faster than human?
Deep Learning, Fast Their extensive abilities can allow them to play video games, recognize faces, and, most importantly, learn. However, these systems learn 10 times more slowly than humans, which has allowed us to keep the creeping fears of a complete artificial intelligence (AI) takeover at bay.At what age do you learn fastest?
We found that the 4- to 12-year-old age groups showed the strongest learning effect measured by the raw RT difference scores. Around the age of 12, we found a striking transition to less pronounced sequence-specific learning, as measured by smaller differences between the responses to high and low frequency triplets.What is the quickest skill to learn?
