28 minutes since last block so far. I know, I know, law of averages...but that's weird.
It has been different from what the announcement said, is not every 7 minutes to solve each block.

Well, no chain meets that exactly, all the time - difficulty gets adjusted after each block to attempt to hold the average. While it took 30 minutes to get the block I was watching, the next 4 came super fast (like 1-2 minutes apart). It's more a curiosity than anything else. You can't predict exactly when a hash will be solved, just keep adjusting with the new information as you get it.
