To be honest how long a human being can survuve in trhe cold is affected by many factors, how old is the person, how fat is the person, how much clothing are they wearing, does the person have any illness of health problems. Having said that -40 C is pretty cold so id say a 20 year old athletic male with average streetweare would survive about 15 minutes if he was lucky. But on the other hand the inuit people do cope with lows of about -35 to -40 C in their winter, waering furrs and having adapted physiologically to the cold have obviously helped them.

A person can survive anywhere between a few minutes to indefinitely at -10 degrees. The actual time will vary greatly based on the clothing and equipment they have.
