Ha, I liked another extra 30 minutes better because that actually enabled me to solve another problem in a couple occasions. Personally, I think 150 minutes give me the time to read over all the problems, and do the ones that are within my reach. 120 minutes was a little too short - may be I think/design/type too slow, and I couldn't finish all the problems that I actually know how to solve. But then, I am only 30 minutes behind :D. I guess this is more or less a personal preference.
