Note that the requirement for 125 hours is at the *end* of the
instrument training.  It is quite possible for someone to have spent
virtually the entire 125 hours on flight instruction, first for the
private license and then for the instrument rating.

I don't hold much hope that such a person is going to be able to retain
such a large amount of essentially new information and procedures.  (I
freely admit that I couldn't).  I certainly wouldn't want to be in the
same clouds with one of these 125-hour wonders on his first unsupervised
cross-country trip.
