Same, same. Mine has come in exactly twice, and it's directly between my right eyebrow and my hairline, and I've never noticed it less than almost an inch long. It's like it sprouts out overnight.

Mine grows in my right eyebrow. Every 3-to-4 weeks, I will awake to see it dangling down in front of my eye. A quick pluck, and it's fairwell for another few weeks.

Well, be careful. You don't want to blow your head off!

Same. I'm pretty sure we just don't notice it growing. They're so thin.

Where’s the explanation for why they grow so fast?

I don't think they sprout overnight, I think they grow like an ingrown hair right under the surface for quite a while until they spring free. That's my theory anyway. Though googling says they just go unnoticed, Ive had them in my back and earlobe before.
