so   199,312,067,531 / 194,254,820,283  = 1.02603408883565 - 1 = .02603408883565  x 100 =  2.603408883565%    which was then rounded to 2.60%

Since  a number could be   something like 2.5999932%   bitcoinwisdom would round it up  to 2.60%.

I won't  so we can have a case  where the winner will not match the rounded number posted by bitcoinwisdom.  

Yeah I like it!  The matheux (mather?  mathor?  methematicioux?) in me likes that kind of precision.  Smiley

I think you were looking for this.

Speaking of math lets do a real world number.

413447 (Main Chain)   2016-05-26 02:00:12  we are here right now

 


413282 (Main Chain)   2016-05-24 21:23:04  this was first one of this jump

so 166 blocks made


1 day         = 144 blocks
4 hours      =   24 blocks
40 minutes =    4  blocks

adds to   172  so 166/172-1 =  (-3.488372093023%)

while bitcoinwisdom using  part of last jump is very much higher


https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficultyBitcoin Difficulty:   199,312,067,531


Estimated Next Difficulty:   209,085,948,934 (+4.90%)  way high compared to real time.

Adjust time:   After 1849 Blocks, About 12.1 days  We start at 1116 blocks


Hashrate(?):   1,523,581,927 GH/s
Block Generation Time(?):   
1 block: 9.4 minutes
3 blocks: 28.2 minutes
6 blocks: 56.5 minutes

One thing I think I have learned is asic builders simply play with difficulty numbers ramping  up  100 to 300 ph at a time
