Two minutes would make things interesting - enough time to finish, but you can't waste too much time thinking. To those who want extra type-ins, it makes sense the way it is. Typing symbols like a dot do not affect the type-ins, which only recognise letters and numbers. So if you type "4.5", it's the same as typing "45". And when you're talking about money, you always put the zero down anyway even if it's not really needed.
