Why is Eliezer-time measured in months, and Luke-time in hours?

That's a good question, especially considering that 250 hours is on the order of months (6 weeks at 40 hours/week, or 4 weeks at 60 hours/week).

EDIT: Units confusion

Oops, I meant 150 hours for me.

Eliezer's time is measured in months because he tracks his time in days not hours, so I have an easier time predicting how many days (which I can convert to months) something will take Eliezer to complete, rather than how many hours it will take him to complete.

I get 6 weeks at 40 hours/week.

Yep, thanks for that.
