Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I boil my corn on the cob for about 10-15 min. I poke it with a fork to see if its done.
Below article seem to say its between 3-5 min. I'm pretty sure that's still too raw for me. But I'm curious now. So I'll have to give it a shot.

How Long to Boil Corn on the Cob
Boil shucked corn on the cob in salted boiling water until the kernels are bright yellow and retain a crisp-tender texture, about 3 to 5 minutes . Take care not to crowd the pot to ensure that the cobs cook evenly—4 cobs at a time in a large pot is a good rule of thumb.
How Long to Boil Sweet Corn
Most corn on the cob destined to be boiled and eaten is classified as sweet corn (there are also super sweet varieties). Sweet corn should be boiled until the kernels turn bright yellow, about 3 to 5 minutes. Corn on the cob purchased locally tends to be fresher than ears procured at the grocery store, and therefore requires less time to cook, so keep a close eye.
