Here's a fun thing:

Pick a random point in time, then:

A) the average amount of time from that point to the next CLAM block is 1 minute
B) the average amount of time from that point to the previous CLAM block is also 1 minute
C) the average time between CLAM blocks is also 1 minute

Wouldn't you expect A + B = C? Yet A, B, and C are all 1 minute.

If t denotes the time a random CLAM block is generated, then

A) the average amount of time from that point t to the next CLAM block is 1 minute
B) the average amount of time from that point t to the previous CLAM block is also 1 minute
C) the average time between CLAM blocks is also 1 minute

Does this make Dooglus's "random point in time" equivalent to "the time a random CLAM block is generated"?
