Does that save any actual time though? You are only locked out for 10s, and you lose the chance at your last guess, by leaving it early. If you average out the lost chances at getting right, versus doing the minigame over and over, I'm not sure that method does save any actual time.

The Fusion Core advice is mostly sound, but if you plan on doing a high intelligence + Power Armor build from the start, you can unlock the Nuclear Physicist perk as early as you want to, which dramatically increases how long your Cores will last, and it's not that hard to find more along the way. This is a fun build, give it a try!

Nyeh, if you want to do Power Armor early on, just sprint minimally and don't use VATS. There's also the Scrounger perk which soon piles on the Cores.

Also, when leaving your power armor somewhere, make sure you remove the core after exiting the suit. If you don't, any NPC can potentially climb in and use the suit, so you could come back to find a drained and damaged suit, or not find it at all if the NPC left it somewhere else.
