The existing data can tell you this with just some basic arithmetic, by using the wiki's respawn rate. In the case of the Driftwood Chest, A Ferocious Hammerhead or its PH has a 22 minute respawn. The wiki reports that the named has a 5% (1/20) spawn chance, and that it has a 25% (1/4) drop rate.

Thus, on average it would take 22 minutes * 20 spawns per named * 4 named per chest = 1,760 minutes per chest (dear god what was I thinking doing six of these things?!?). I'm not against doing that math for people in the wiki, but I'm not sure it's necessary either, since it's just elementary-level math. Thoughts?
That's the whole point of my comment, why is someone converting usable data into a form factor that isn't consumable only for the consumer to convert the data back. Every time a conversion happens data accuracy is reduced.
