I think you've got the point of what the 5 is, as I also have.

My guess is "/2" stands for the two people (you and me) who don't know what the meaning of the expression 5/2 is

The 2 is the time increment after each move.  So you get 5 minutes at the start and after every move you get a 2 second increment.

Ah; thanks!
